   		  <title>Walnuts Contain Most Healthy Antioxidants</title>
		 <description><![CDATA[A new study presented yesterday at the 241st meeting of the American Chemical Society shows that walnuts have more and healthier antioxidants than other nuts. J. Vinson, Ph.D. of the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania, who carried out the study, says that they compared walnuts with pistachios, almonds, macadamias, cashews, pecans, peanuts, Brazil nuts and hazelnuts, and walnuts contain twice as much antioxidants as any of the other nuts.]]></description>
