The trouble with the study is... they don't say if people who follow the
Mediterranean diet but do not calorie restrict, also have the heart
protection.

They see one result, and they make an assumption, based on a group of 25
people.

That's a good point, Jennifer. These kinds of observations are good starting
points for more definitive research, but that's all they are - starting
points - because there are simply too many variables. Where they go wrong is
applying findings inappropriately.

In Toronto an allergist whose specialty is Immunology set up a study
group of twelve to establish her theory that Multiple Chemical
Sensitvities are linked to Panic Disorder. The MCS community was
outraged as these findings were not refelective of the general
conditons in the afflicted community.
