Does eating pecans make you less likely to get cancer? how many do i need to eat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No effect: If this were true, we would all be on a pecan diet. This was probably a marketing trick by the pecan growers and distributors. Pecans and other nuts may have some health benefits but do not prevent cancer.
