Harvard Professor: “I Tried Every Diet. This Is By Far The Worst.” - Daniel Lieberman
"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."
