Research shows those who consume hazelnuts have 50% better chance at surviving a heart attack than those who don’t.

Hazelnuts are an excellent source of vitamin E which is good for heart muscles, as well as all other muscles.

When combined these two risks pose the greatest threat for cancer development.  If cancer cells have already begun to form, hazelnuts help to diffuse those cells. 

Hazelnuts contain the highest amount of PAC (Proanthocyanidin) among super foods. The anti-oxidants in PACs are 20 times more powerful than those in vitamin C, and 50 times more powerful than those in vitamin E. 

Hazelnuts are high in antioxidants, which help the body get rid of radicals, which over time causes cancer and other diseases.

Hazelnuts are also an excellent source of vegetable protein.  

Hazelnuts are also a good source of dietary fibre.

Hazelnuts are a good source of folate, which reduces the risk of cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, depression and neural tube defects, which are birth defects of the brain and spinal chord.  They are essential for the reproductive system and also contain arganine which is an amino acid that helps to relax the blood vessels.
