There has been a
great deal of news lately surrounding the Mediterranean diet. We know
this diet is definitely a big help when it comes to fighting heart disease, and
there are numerous reports that it can increase life expectancy. Recently,
there have been several reports looking at whether it helps prevent Alzheimer's
disease. The debate goes back and forth, and certainly there has been
some groundbreaking work by Columbia University looking into the matter, but I
think it's time to make a commonsense point. There is great reason to
continue studies here, but we also know the Mediterranean diet is just good for
you.
