Most diets come and go with the seasons. This one has decades of rigorous science behind it — including a landmark clinical trial that changed how doctors think about heart disease prevention. And unlike most "healthy" eating plans, this one comes with generous olive oil, real bread, and a glass of wine if you want it.
