Lyon Diet Heart Study
This is a wonderful article outlining very nicely what a Mediterranean diet consist of. I am a big, big fan of the Mediterranean diet and feel that, for most patients, it is probably one of the healthiest on the planet. In previous studies it has been compared to the ADA and AHA diets and pretty much puts them to shame; and yet these organizations continue to recommend their outdated, ineffective programs.
