An article just published in the New England Journal of Medicine claims that a Mediterranean diet is much more effective than a "low-fat diet" in preventing cardiovascular disease. A careful reading of the study reveals that this is simply not true.

The hard part is listening. No one can do it for you. There isn't a 10 day diet for it. It can start with meditation, a nature walk, being inspired by a poem, or a number of other things.

A new study reports that the Atkins diet can be just as healthy as a low-fat diet. But don't start buying bacon yet. This research has some serious flaws.
