Mediterranean diet may also help stop diabetes

LONDON (Reuters) - A Mediterranean diet rich in fruits and vegetables -- already known to protect against heart disease -- also appears to help ward off diabetes, Spanish researchers said on Friday.

The study published in the British Medical Journal showed that people who stuck closely to the diet were 83 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who did not. more

Mediterranean diet lengthens Americans' lives
Archives of Internal Medicine, December 10/24, 2007 Eating the Mediterranean way could help you live longer, according to the first study to look at how the dietary pattern relates to mortality in a US population.   "These results provide strong evidence for a beneficial effect of higher conformity with the Mediterranean dietary pattern on risk of death from all causes, including deaths due to cardiovascular disease and cancer, in a US population," Dr. Panagiota N.

Manny’s, Statesboro’s new Greek grille, is located where the old Eagle Diner was, or if you’re a true Statesborian, across from the old McDonald’s. It’s kind of a tucked away,nestled between Gate and Taco Bell, but I think a restaurant of its kind, with a fairly unique culinary offering, will draw people into the oyster shell for a culinary pearl. My friends Hanadi and Julie and I went in on Manny’s second day open to see how this restaurant held up to Statesboro’s Greek staple, Holiday’s. I must say, I liked Manny’s a lot more.
