Résumé

L’activité antiradicalaire et anti-inflammatoire des noix est particulièrement mise à profit dans la prévention des maladies neurodégénératives, cardiovasculaires et cancéreuses. Les noix diminuent aussi le risque de développer une lithiase urinaire oxalique ou une dégénérescence maculaire. Leur activité laxative est particulièrement intéressante en cas de selles sèches ou de régime amaigrissant. La consommation de noix peut cependant favoriser l’apparition d’aphtes, d’herpès, de troubles digestifs ou d’allergie parfois sévère chez certains patients. La consommation importante de noix pourrait parfois perturber la fonction thyroïdienne en cas d’apport iodé insuffisant, ou fausser les dosages de sérotonine.

Abstract

The anti-radical and anti-inflammatory activity of nuts is especially useful in the prevention of neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Nuts also reduce the risk of developing oxalic urolithiasis or macular degeneration. Their laxative properties are of particular interest in cases of dry stools or for weight loss programmes. The consumption of nuts can, however, favour the appearance of aptha, herpes, digestive problems or allergy, which in some patients can be severe. A high nut consumption may also lead to thyroid dysfunction if the food is too poor in iodine insufficiency, or interfere with serotonin test results.
