all in good health

Far be it for me to argue with research that tells me that foods I like are actually good for me. The Washington Post today reports on the results of one such study:

Trading about 10 percent of carbohydrates in the diet for beans and healthful fats such as olive oil can help control high blood pressure and raise the level of “good cholesterol,” according to a new study.

Experts said that the findings will help alter the standard dietary advice for people at high risk of heart disease. They also underscore the health benefits of popular foods including nuts, avocados and olive oil.

Guacamole, here I come.
