    Yeah thats true. And I agree with the overall idea of better health care = longer life. Just wanted to reinforce that the whole “Mediterranean diet” thing is somewhat debunked.

      No, the Mediterranean diet has plenty of evidence in favor, including actual interventions where groups were switched to the diet and studied compared to a control group, and had better health outcomes. Those studies, plus population-wide data, supports the idea that a Mediterranean diet improves longevity and health in general.
