Researchers at the University of Toronto, Canada have shown that a 2.5 ounce snack of almonds each day can do a better job in lowering blood LDL and raising blood HDL than a whole wheat muffin having the same amount of fat and fiber as almonds. (whfoods.org)
The meals were standardized to contain the same amount of fat (≈ 16 g / meal) and similar amounts of fiber (≈ 29 g / meal; references 15 — 17). (academic.oup.com)
And is there a kind of almond flour which still contains the same amount of fat as regular almonds? (skinnytaste.com)
