Answer 1

Surely, but eat 3 walnuts each day. not more.

Nuts

Nuts such as almonds and walnuts that have high amount of monounsaturated or polyunsaturated, also help lowering cholesterol. Researchers at the Loma Linda University found that a diet containing pecans not only lowered total and LDL--or "bad" cholesterol significantly but also helped to maintain desirable levels of HDL--or "good"--cholesterol. Another study conducted by the same University found that Mediterranean style diet that included walnuts lowered cholesterol.

Answer 2

Yes. But they must be raw walnuts. Most walnuts are raw. If not, it usually says so on the package. They have a heck of a lot of calories though. If you are not wanting to gain weight, stick to eating only a handful a day. The reason they help with bad cholestrol is they have the right fats in them. No saturated fats, just poly and mono fats, which is great for helping reduce bad cholestrol.
