She knows a knock-
off from an original
blindfolded. That's why
she only has designs
on delicious Golden
Blintzes.
Other brands of blintzes try to copy
our secret recipe and great taste. But
smart people know there's only one
original. For over 40 years we've
been making blintzes with the best
fresh cheese and whole fresh fruit. And
Golden Blintzes have up to 40%
more filling than some brands.
So anytime you want a great low fat
(not including potato blintz) meal or
dessert with as little as 80 calories per
blintz, get Golden. Because nobody
makes a better blintz.

ealth has become a major
concern for Americans in
the 90s. As we begin to un-
derstand that a healthy
diet leads to a healthful lifestyle,
the Mediterranean Diet is grow-
ing in popularity.
Easy to follow, the Mediter-
ranean Diet emphasizes fresh in-
gredients and large amounts of
fruits and vegetables. It allows
small amounts of red meat,
sweets and eggs with variable
amounts of olive oil. Wine is mod-
eration is encouraged in the diet.
The Mediterranean dietary
pyramid, recently endorsed by
the World Health Organization
isn't new. It has existed for cen-
turies in Italy and other Middle
Eastern countries.
Although the Mediterranean
Diet is not part of a diet regimen
to lose weight, weight loss is cer-
tainly possible with this new ap-
proach to abandoning high-fat
foods and recent medical re-
search has shown that this cui-
sine is much better for your
cardiovascular health than the
"typical" American diet.
Studies have linked red wine
consumption with low incidence
of heart attacks for some time,
but research wirh human sub-
jects has just shown this clinically
for the first time.
The new study at the Technion
Israel Institute of Technology
shows red wine reduces choles-
terol oxidation, which ultimate-
ly can cause heart attacks and
