When Diet Meets Delicious by Mark Bittman. The New York Times. February 26, 2013.
Bittman's comments provide context to the recent findings of the benefits of the "Mediterranean" diet, the essence of which is inclusion of healthful fat, vegetables, fruits, legumes, and beneficial, or less harmful, animal products. Bittman acknowledges the criticism of the findings, produced by Spanish researchers, by Dean Ornish who has developed a low-fat diet aimed at reversing heart disease. Ornish concedes that while the Mediterranean diet is better than what most people consume there is no evidence that it reverses heart disease. His low-fat diet, Bittman points out, has demonstrated the ability to do just that.
