Mediterranean-type diets are healthiest!

Mediterranean-type diets are healthiest, says a major study of cardiac risks

A little red wine is in. Red meat is unquestionably out. And the Mediterranean diet is simply golden.

That is the conclusion of a study out of McMaster University that seeks to offer the most definitive word yet on the foods that are good for your heart.

The study, which examined almost 60 years' worth of existing research on diet and heart disease, attempts to separate the whole wheat from the chaff on foods in a way that doctors and consumers can swallow with confidence, says Dr. Sonia Anand, the study's senior author. It ran yesterday in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine.
