Is it true that eating peanuts regularly increases belly fat in adults?
Unclear. Three sources partially address the claim: a pilot study links nut intake to better diet quality and sleep, a clinic article says peanuts may help maintain a healthy weight, and a Ghanaian trial found regular peanut consumption lowered cholesterol and triglycerides. None directly measures belly fat gain, so the evidence only weakly counters the claim.
