Higher-Fat Diets Are  Better at Keeping Disease at Bay

Can eating more fat make you healthier and increase you chance of staying disease free? Probably.

A new combined analysis of all earlier studies shows that a Mediterranean diet with unlimited amounts of fat may reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, obesity, breast cancer and type 2 diabetes:

According to the analysis, a high-fat Mediterranean diet is healthier and the better at keeping disease at bay, compared to lower-fat diets.

Dr. Aseem Malhotra, cardiologist, says that "It is high time we in the UK moved towards food based guidelines and lift restrictions on dietary fat from nutritious foods."

When do you think that the guidelines will truly reflect these facts?
