A modern 7 countries study. They could start by revisiting the previous one, de-corrupting the analysis of it, and publishing the facts rather than the propaganda. In the last few days we've been reading about another analysis of the Mediterranean diet and just what's so beneficial about it. It presented further indication that the strong preference the government and the dogmatic "experts" have made over the last few decades for omega-6-laden polyunsaturated fats was likely wrong headed. But that will fall through the cracks. From yesterday's Post: "In a paper published online this week by a British medical journal known as BMJ, the researchers reported that those improved their adherence to a Mediterranean diet were about 14 percent less likely to die during the study period. But the main benefits in terms of a reduced mortality appeared to be from consuming moderate amounts of alcohol, little meat, and lots of vegetables, fruits and nuts, olive oil and legumes. Eating a lot of cereal and fish and other seafood did not appear to play a significant role, the researchers found. Specifically, the researchers found that moderate alcohol consumption, usually in the form of wine during meals, accounted for 23.5 percent of the benefit, whereas low levels of meat and meat products accounted for 16.6 percent, eating a lot of vegetables accounted for 16.2 percent and lot of fruit and nuts accounted for 11.2 percent. High monounsaturated fat and saturated fat caused 11.2 percent of the benefit and high legume consumption accounted for 9.7 percent. The findings, the researchers say, should help people pick the parts of the Mediterranean diet most likely to help them live longer."
