Here is a new paper on the Mediterranean Diet and its utility as a preventive tool against cancer.
The "Olive oil & Salad" dietary pattern, characterized by high consumption of raw vegetables and olive oil, was associated with a lower risk of overall mortality in the elderly. Adherence to a Mediterranean diet rich in vegetables and fruit was associated with reduced risk of colon cancer. Consumption of high-glycemic carbohydrates was associated with higher incidence of breast cancer and colorectal cancer. Reduced risk of colon cancer was also found in regular consumers of yogurt
Fruits, vegetables, yogurt, olive oil - all good, and a preference for whole grains, as opposed to "high-glycemic carbohydrates" is also a good bet for a healthy lifestyle.
