Experts Want More Studies of Diet’s Role for the Heart

Author Gina Kolata gets right to the point in her article about changes in diets. Researchers have proven that a Mediterranean diet can prevent deaths that are linked to cardio and heart diseases. She cites a specific study, validating her credibility as an author and then employs quotations from professors, doctors, and scientists that are well versed in diet and its relations to heart health.  These doctors, scientists, professors are rooted all over the globe solidifying the research and making it a global issue. As Kolata progresses through her article, she addresses the fact that studies are rarely done because of the expenses and the prolonged duration of the studies. Kolata also focuses on a single person affected by heart issues.  This allows her to go in depth about his specific heart problem and illustrate the affects of his vegan. She concludes the article with a quotation from a doctor, which sums up the issue of the lack of research and the fact that only so much can be done.
