                                In a 2010 study published in the *Journal of the American College of Nutrition*, participants who snacked on pistachios lost more weight and had better cholesterol levels compared to those who ate pretzels, despite similar calorie counts. This finding highlights a fundamental difference in how these two popular snacks impact our health, moving beyond simple calorie comparisons.
