Could eating almonds put you at risk for developing heart disease?
That's the focus of a forthcoming study to be conducted at Berkeley's Cholesterol Research Center (CRC) at the Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI).
The CRC has posted an ad on Craigslist to recruit volunteers for the 13-week study. Researchers are looking for "apple shaped" men and women aged 20 and older, with a waist circumference of at least 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women.
Participants who qualify and complete the study will earn a $900 stipend, plus four weight-management counseling appointments and lab work results.
