I am so glad you wrote this. SO glad. I was happy to see the insert, as I always am. It was also maddening. While I have had good luck with the so-called Mediterranean Diet (I have genetically high cholesterol and high BP and am descended from a long line of cardiac patients), I have also had better luck with a similar diet -- lots of leafy green, grains, fermented soy, and fish --- that isn't Mediterranean at all. When I worked at Rodale Books in 2012, I stopped for breakfast every morning at a Japanese market near my office, where I got freshly made miso soup, a small cup of rice, and some really good broiled fish. Lunch was similar. My cholesterol dropped by 40 points. For me, it's not so much the geographical derivation as it is the food itself.
