We love it when science proves us wrong.If your doctor told you that you have heart disease, were pre-diabetic, or said you should eat healthier, they likely will tell you to follow the Mediterranean Diet.When I introduce the Mediterranean Diet to my patients I get a response like this:“Sounds great! Who doesn’t love red wine, olive oil, and fresh Italian tomatoes?”This is followed by asking for a

In Vino, Veritas – or In Wine, Truth – by Pliny the ElderWhen the Holy Roman Empire was forming Charlemagne gave lands to the monks in order for them to plant vineyards to make wine for the Eucharist.
