Mediterranean diet: Mediterranean diet prevents heart disease. Our goal shouldn't necessarily be to lower cholesterol but rather to prevent & reduce heart disease. That's why we recently changed our recommendations to focus mainly on statins as they're the only cholesterol lowering drug that actually prevents heart attacks & strokes. Other drugs can lower cholesterol but w/o preventing any disease. What good is that?
