A few thoughts about the Mediterranean diet. First, having been to multiple cities on the Med, the diet they eat there is much different than the Med diet promoted in the U.S. It is full of meat and seafood and butter. 2nd, the entire concept of the Med diet comes from the work of Keys, much of which has been verified as fraudulent. 3rd, as long as your Med diet is low in carbs and adheres to the other PHD principles then it's perfect.

Yes
Blue zones = coastal zones = ocean trade = wealth = access to fish and meat
This is incredible, of course I might verify what you said, but I just received an educated answer to the question I was thinking about, but it costs too much time to research the web on my own. And now I can happily zap you for your good will of sharing your knowledge. This model is much more fair (at least for my side) than potential subscription I had to pay you just to get one answer like that. #lovenostr
