Mediterranean Diet Reduces Genetic Stroke Risk. Study
(HealthCastle.com) The so-called Mediterranean dietary pattern has long been associated with lower rates of many chronic diseases such as heart and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, over-weight and obesity and more.

23 schoolchildren dead in India after eating poisoned school lunch: Scores of schoolchildren were sickened and at least 23 were dead last week after eating a free lunch of lentils, beans, and rice cooked in oil.
