Both Mediterranean and paleo diets are healthy
Both the Mediterranean diet, which most nutritionists are still lyrical about, and the paleo diet, which the same nutritionists tend to abhor, are healthy. Both types of diet reduce the risk of dying biostatisticians and epidemiologists at Emory University in the United States discovered.
Study
The researchers divided the participants twice into five equal-sized groups based on their diet. On one occasion this was done by looking at the extent to which the participants' diet complied with the criteria of the Mediterranean diet, and on the other occasion the extent to which their diet resembled the paleo diet.
Q1: least resembles the Mediterranean diet / paleo diet, Q5: most resembles the Mediterranean diet / paleo diet.
Results
Both the Mediterranean diet and the paleo diet reduce the chances of dying from cardiovascular diseases, cancer and other causes. The figure below shows the results for cancer. Once again, the Mediterranean diet seems to offer slightly more protection than the paleo diet.
