Cardiovascular and Stroke and Mediterranean Diet

A new study was published recently that has been frequently reported on by various news agencies. Most of the news reports have focused on the improvement in rate of occurrence of cardiovascular disease experienced by persons 55 to 80 years old. In fact the study, available at furnished link, is entitled, "Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease with a Mediterranean Diet." One news account made reference the prevention rate of stroke being more prevalent when the Mediterranean Diet included nuts. Table 3. Outcomes According to Study Group bears that claim out. The apparent protection against stroke seems to be as prevalent as protection against cardiovascular disease .... so a double endorsement of a Mediterranean Diet that includes nuts! http://tinyurl.com/d4ny7ml
