It’s a meta-analysis on the effect of ‘nuts’ on blood pressure. Not ‘groundnuts’ or ‘cashew nuts’, ‘nuts’. It’s meant to understand the general effect of nut consumption, not to give you a specific recommendation.
What kind of nuts? Seems like a really broad statement. I scanned the article, but didn’t see if it actually states what ones are best to consume.

You know that they are talking about hypertension, right?

I know, Meta sucks balls… I mean, nuts.
And I’m saying they left out the most important details that would have made the article worth the read.
Cool
