Question:

Nuts and Cholesterol Several studies have been performed to examine the relationship between nut consumption and cholesterol levels. Here we consider two such studies. In Study 1, participants were assigned into two groups: one group was given nuts to eat each day, and the other group was told to consume a diet without nuts. In Study 2, participants were free to follow their own diet, and reported how many nuts they consumed. Cholesterol levels were measured for all participants, and both studies found that nut consumption was associated with lower levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol. Based on the information above, which study do you think provides better evidence that nut consumption reduces LDL cholesterol? Explain your answer.
