DESCRIPTION: An elegant study is presented testing the appetite-suppressing effects of walnuts. This is the fourth of a seven-video series on the fascinating phenomenon of the mystery of the missing calories—why don't nuts make us fat? I reviewed the balance of evidence in Nuts and Obesity: The Weight of Evidence (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nuts-and-obesity-the-weight-of-evidence/) and introduced two theories on Monday (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/solving-the-mystery-of-the-missing-calories/), both of which were not well supported by a study on peanut butter I detailed in yesterday's video-of-the-day (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/testing-the-pistachio-principle/). We finally seem to be making progress, though we still haven't accounted for all the missing calories. Tomorrow we'll check out the Fat Burning Theory (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/testing-the-fat-burning-theory/). For my crazy breakfast smoothie concoction see http://nutritionfacts.org/video/a-better-breakfast/.

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/testing-the-dietary-compensation-theory/ and he'll try to answer it!
