The Medieterranean Diet

There was a recent article about the benefits of the Mediterranean diet supposedly increasing your lifespan. The sad thing is just about everything seems bad (and good) for you now a days. Coffee can clog arteries, eggs are high in cholesterol, eating seared meat is cancerous, non-organic food puts you at risk with numerous pesticides, eating too much tuna can lead to issues with mercury - heck, even playing with toys from China can give your kids lead poisoning. The funny thing is there are benefits to the items I listed above also.

While I'm sure there are tremendous benefits eating the Mediterranean way, I'm sure there will be issues with the Mediterranean diet as well. I say enjoy your seared steak and eggs and have an app of negi toro beforehand. As long as don't eat this stuff very often, you should be able to enjoy it...life is short - do it up!
