Non-Fiction


        In the article Mediterranean Diet Shown to Ward Off Heart Attack and Stroke by Gina Kolata (New York times) it mostly talks about "About 30 percent of heart attacks, strokes and deaths from heart disease can be prevented in people at high risk if they switch to a Mediterranean diet rich in olive oil, nuts, beans, fish, fruits and vegetables, and even drink wine with meals, a large and rigorous new study has found"-states the author. It also states "The study ended early, after almost five years, because the results were so clear it was considered unethical to continue". What they mean by this sentence is that they studied this for many years and i became obvious so they stopped researching.

       This article is very serious because this leads to death. I find this article interesting.The line that made me surprised is  "study in Spain that says you can eat a nicely balanced diet with fruits and vegetables and olive oil and lower heart disease by 30 percent" this is an amazing sentence because it means a good thing. This is what researchers found out.

     To sum up what the whole article is saying that 30 percent of heart attacks are caused if you switch to Mediterranean diet rich in oil, nuts ... etc. This article really made me think about our environment.And it is true what there saying. Lots of things can kill you but i think this tops it. Scientists are trying really hard everyday to figure something new out. And they do. this article kind of has two sides to it you can agree with this logic and you don't have to. this article was interesting.
