Why we cite it
A concise review consolidating the evidence that *nuts are not associated with weight gain despite high energy density — the abstract’s own wording: ”Numerous epidemiological and clinical studies show that nuts are not associated with weight gain.”* Identifies and quantifies four distinct mechanisms — dietary compensation, fecal energy loss, elevated resting energy expenditure, and improved diet compliance — that together account for most of the energy provided by nuts.
