CHOLESTEROL AND GENETIC ISSUES WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY THE MEANING OF DIVERTICULOSIS

In a previous post I mentioned to be careful when eating nuts as there are people who have intestional problems and nuts can be caught in pouches of the intestine.

The meaning of the following words are cited in Dorland's Medical dictionary

Diverticulosis The presence of diverticula

Diverticula A blind pouch

Diverticulitis Inflammation of a diverticulum ( the plural of divertiiculum is diverticula)

The essence of what I wanted to convey was to be careful when eating nuts as they can cause inflammation to the diverticulum.

Sometimes we find a food that is being touted for it's health benefit and forget that there may be reasons why we should not partake of this healthy food.

Hope this clarifies the meaning of the above conditions.

The post stated the cholesterol lowering effects of eating nuts and there health benefits.
