Additional Adventist Health Study findings validated the relationship between eating nuts and whole wheat bread and experiencing a reduced risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). These findings were published in a research article by Dr. Fraser and his colleagues to the Archives of Internal Medicine in 1992. The findings attracted substantial media attention.

Lowered the risk of fatal coronary heart disease by 73 percent.
