Mediterranean Diet

In my monthly column at Endurance Corner, I share my take on the results from a study of the Mediterranean diet and its influence on heart problems.

One take-home message is that all fats are not created equal.  Perhaps we already knew that.  But in the largest-ever study of its kind, the investigators have shown that a controlled diet–modelled after the “Mediterranean diet”–can have a big impact on the heart in a relatively short period of time.
