Underrated aspects of a true Mediterranean diet: understanding traditional features for worldwide application of a “Planeterranean” diet

It is rather reductive to consider the Mediterranean diet as just a pattern of food groups to be consumed decontextualized from the social and geographical background of Mediterranean culture, and a more holistic approach should be considered in future studies by considering the aforementioned underrated features and values to be potentially applied globally through the concept of a “Planeterranean” diet.

Eggs – a scoping review for Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2023

Current evidence from systematic reviews of randomized clinical trials indicates that higher egg intake may increase serum total cholesterol concentration and the ratio of low-density lipoprotein to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, but with substantial heterogeneity in the response.

Adherence to Healthy or Unhealthy Pro-Vegetarian Plant-Based Diets Have Different Impact on Prostate Cancer Severity: Preliminary Findings

Patients resulting in higher adherence to an unhealthy plant-based diet were more likely to be diagnosed with more severe PCa, and plant-based dietary patterns may have a different impact on PCa severity depending on the quality of the foods included.

Adherence to the Mediterranean diet and prostate cancer severity

Higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet may be associated with a clinically less severe clinical PCa, according to a study of 118 consecutive patients attending a university hospital in Southern Italy.
