Best nuts for disease prevention
Almonds
AP
Relatively low in calories, almonds have more calcium than any other nut, making them a great food for overall health. Plus, they are rich in fiber and vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps fight dangerous inflammation and possibly health conditions such as lung cancer and age-related cognitive decline.
Because they're so versatile, almonds are often a favorite among nut eaters: You can buy them raw, toasted, slivered, or coated with a variety of fun flavors, from Wasabi & Soy Sauce to Lime 'n Chili.

4. Include a navigation bar that lets reader go to a particular page number, rather than be forced to go backward or forward through the whole series. You do this on some of your other stories.

Photos are helpful-- especially to the many of us who do not see many varieties of nuts on a daily basis.
Yes, peanuts and pecans are easily identified, but Brazil nuts, macadamia nuts and cashews are not that familiar to many readers.
Photos also add visual interest. If photos were not added, CBS would get complaints about "another dull article about food".
Since you did not read all 19 pages, you missed information on what grocery brands to choose and avoid (and why), as well as some tips on getting maximum nutrition when you buy nuts. The first pages were especially good, containing some well-researched information on nuts as a diet staple.

Although I, too, would rather read the entire story as a single page, a kindly soul once explained the strategy to me. Our continued free access to this and other news websites depends upon advertising support (at least, in part). By multiplying pages on which to place small ads, CBS multiplies its ad revenue, and continues to provide excellent news content free of charge.
There once was a debate between charge and no-charge websites. When the New York Times launched its own news website, it imposed a modest access fee to website visitors. Although the Times announced its policy well in advance, readers complained so loudly, the idea was scrapped (in greater part). The experiment also left a salutary effect-- few readers complained about advertisements, anymore. They appeared to understand who pays the bills for their "free" access.
This is not to claim advertising on CBS or anywhere else does not go out of bounds, on occasion. When it does, it almost invariably reduces the number of readers.
The other day, as I began to read a CBS story, a Java-driven page graphic seemed to emerge from the story text area, shaking and then stretching the text like a hatching larva. That was too intrusive for me, and I closed the window promptly to terminate its cyber lifespan. That is advertising which is aggressive and egregious.
Other annoyances include ads which float into view across the page content, and refuse to close until a number of angry clicks later. Or ads which masquerade as "surveys" from an undisclosed source. When the CBS web team becomes this aggressive, they annoy the people they claim they need to reach.
Suggestions to CBS--
1. Multipage stories are nice, but sometimes you forget many readers visit you on limited time budgets and may skip important news content because they have no time for complex navigation. Despite this concern, news stories with well-written, intriguingly-explained content-- even if longer than most-- continue to be a strong draw. So, one solution is to provide an "executive summary" at the top of each longish story-- a paragraph or two-- for all potential readers.
2. At all costs, avoid the ads which materialize over page content. This seems an effort by CBS to interrupt the reader, and the annoyance seems intentional.
3. Please identify "surveys" which are advertiser-supported, and place the identifier ("This Is a Sponsor Survey") in each survey's initial pop-up notice. Readers can decide whether they wish to be bothered.
