This type of nut is also used as medicine for male impotence by Chinese people, improve the production of male hormones, and they increase blood flow and antioxidants.
EPA and DHA are known to many in the marine fish such as salmon, sardines and others. But the reality content of EPA and DHA on the "FRUIT walnuts" did not lose much. Eating fruit can give the body walnut intake of Essential Fatty Acids Omega-3, anti-oxidants, and Phytosterol, a substance that reduces the risk of breast cancer, according to a study presented at the Annual Meeting of The 100 2009 Association for Cancer Research American. Phytosterol (also called plant sterols) are a group of steroid alcohol, phytochemicals naturally found in plants. Phytosterol-shaped white powder with a distinctive aroma that can not sting insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol. The substance has many benefits, such as a food additive to reduce levels of cholesterol, as well as in medicine and cosmetics.

Researchers from the Marshall University School of Medicine tried to find out what content contained on the walnuts.

Standard examination showed significantly lower consumption of walnuts incident breast tumors, the number of gland tumors and tumor size. "This laboratory mice in particular have a 100% tumor event within five months; walnut consumption inhibits tumor growth until at least three weeks," says Elaine.
Molecular analysis showed, increased consumption of omega-3 fatty acids contribute to the reduction in tumor event, but some other parts of walnut also contribute. "With the intervention of food, you see a lot of mechanisms when dealing with a whole food," and "It is clear that the fruit walnuts contribute to healthy foods that can reduce breast cancer."
