What was said
"After, I think after 5 years, they stopped the study because the effects, the beneficial effects of the Mediterranean diet were so high that they felt that it was unethical to continue the study and not get rid of it. Deny the other group from the benefits of having a Mediterranean diet."
Daniel Lieberman says Spain’s PREDIMED trial was stopped early because researchers judged it unethical to withhold a Mediterranean-style diet from the control group. He argues the trial adds to a stronger evidence base for Mediterranean-style eating than other named diets.
