The Mediterranean Diet Study


Results from the largest meta-analysis of the Mediterranean diet and health status were recently published in the British Journal of Medicine. Italian researchers reviewed 12 studies that tracked more than 50,000 people for three to eighteen years and found that those who were following the diet were 9 percent less likely to die from heart disease, 6 percent less susceptible to fatal cancer, and 13 percent less likely to die from Alzheimer's disease.
