In the Spotlight

The Mediterranean Diet
People who eat a Mediterranean diet tend to have a lower incidence of diseases like heart disease and cancer. This type of diet is high in fats and oils, but they are healthy fats and oils. Lots of polyunsaturated fats from fish, nuts and vegetables, monounsaturated fats from olive oil, but very little saturated fat because there isn't much red meat eaten on the Mediterranean diet.

And what about the large, long-term Women's Health Initiative study which found that a low-fat diet failed to reduce the risk of disease in older women? Should we really be eating low fat at all? Find out why you might want to stick with it.
