Question:
Only problem now is to decide what is mediterranean diet... :)
Answer:
Not really. Many studies have developed a scoring system for measuring the adherence to the Mediterranean diet. The details of the diet varies among different Mediaterranean countries, but there are certain common factors. The traditional diet of Crete is regarded as healthiest of all variations of Mediterranean diets and therefore should perhaps be used as a general guideline. See for example Pitsavos C, Panagiotakos DB, Chrysohoou C, Papaioannou I, Papadimitriou L, Tousoulis D, Stefanadis C, Toutouzas P.
