Walnuts, cacao and beans, 3 superfoods that are super only in super-high quantities. Today's SuppVersity Food Science Research Update is all about three so-called "superfoods". It's an article from which you cannot just learn that walnuts, beans and cacao are "superfoods" as they protect you from cancer, improve your gut health and ameliorate diabetes. It's yet also an article that puts the (rodent) science into perspective. A perspective you won't see taken very often, because it has the "superfoods" look much less "super" than they appear to be without a reality check.

Good for your heart, good for your gut, good for your metabolism, ... bu...
