nuts

Patients with diverticular disease are commonly advised to avoid nuts, popcorn and seeds, but one study questions whether there's really a link

Nuts, popcorn, and corn don't increase the risk of diverticulitis, a study shows.

SEATTLE (MedPage Today) -- Nuts, corn, and popcorn are harmless in diverticular disease, according to a finding from a large, prospective cohort study in men that seems to upend common wisdom in gastroenterology.

Mothers-to-be who eat nuts every day may increase their child's risk of developing asthma by 50%, claim researchers.

Harry and David is recalling all 4 oz. boxes of Giant Cashews with lot codes 2507 MSL 15:00 through 2507 MSL 18:00 and a use by date of 6/28/08.

The lot code and use by date are ink jetted on the bottom of the box. Affected boxes also can be recognized by the price sticker on the bottom, or lower portion of the back, of the box.

The price sticker states "Nuts Mixed Nuts Box 4oz". These products are packaged in 4 oz. paperboard boxes with bags of metalized film containing nuts inside.

The boxes are olive green with a pale green design in the background.
