Obesity is a multifactorial disease that is difficult to control worldwide. Although nuts are recognized health foods, the application of food in obesity management is unclear. We systematically reviewed the literature and performed a meta-analysis to evaluate if nut consumption favors people on energy restriction (ER) dietary interventions.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the effects of cashew nuts and their oil on intestinal permeability and inflammation in adults with overweight or obesity during an energy-restricted diet.
- - Sixty-four participants were divided into three groups: one received cashew nuts, another cashew nut oil, and the control group did not receive nuts; all were on a 500 kcal/day reduction.
- - Results showed no significant changes in intestinal permeability or inflammatory markers across the groups after 8 weeks, suggesting that more research is needed to explore the effects of cashew nuts over a longer period and with higher doses.

Introduction: Cashew nut contains bioactive compounds that modulate satiety and food intake, but its effects on body fat during energy restriction remains unknown. This study aimed to assess the effects of cashew nut and cashew nut oil on body fat (primary outcome) as well as adiposity, cardiometabolic and liver function markers (secondary outcomes).
Materials And Methods: An eight-week (8-wk) randomized controlled-feeding study involved 68 adults with overweight/obesity (40 women, BMI: 33 ± 4 kg/m).
