mediterranean diet wins!

The Annals of Internal Medicine reports that a Mediterranean-style diet rich in healthy fats like olive oil and nuts may be better than a strict low-fat diet. People on the Mediterranean diet exhibited increases in good cholesterol (HDL), as well as improvements in blood pressure & blood sugar. The low-fat group demonstrated decreased levels of the good cholesterol (HDL), and no change in blood pressure & blood sugar levels. What a relief to know that we don't have to cut out tasty, healthy fats in order to lose weight and improve health.
