    WHAT:       Polyunsaturated fats (the source of omega-3 essential
                fatty acids) are making headlines as the best choice
                in the escalating debate on fat.

                Walnuts are emerging as the 'Mega Nut. They are unique
                among nuts because only walnuts are rich in
                polyunsaturated fat.

                One ounce of walnuts -- a handful -- meets the
                September 2002 daily dietary recommendation on omega-3
                fatty acids for men and women established by the Food
                Nutrition Board of the National Academies' Institute
                of Medicine.
