Mikäli mahdollista, vielä keinotekoisempi konstruktio oli Itä-Suomen korkeakoulussa keksitty "Itämeren ruokavalio". Se näyttää tulleen unohdetuksi ja hyvä niin. Mutta saatiinpahan veronmaksajien rahoja ja Pohjoismaiden neuvoston varoja tuhlatuksi kyseiseen humpuukiin.The Mediterranean diet promoted here in the US is a total scam. Here are 5 things that are just not true.
Claim: The Med diet is all about whole grains!
Reality: Italians do not eat whole-grain pasta. Pasta in Italy is made with white durum wheat.
Claim: The Med diet is plant strong.
Reality: Italians do not eat a plant-based diet. They are surrounded by the ocean and so eat lots of seafood, and they raise all kinds of grazing mammals (goats, sheep, cattle) as well as pigs.
Claim: The Med diet is low in saturated fat.
Reality: Italians love their olive oil, but they also love butter and cheese, especially in the North, where dairying was more popular than in the South due to the climatological and geographic differences between N and S.
Claim: The fats in the Med diet come mainly from plants, including seeds.
Reality: Italians do not get a lot of their dietary fat from seeds. They do eat some, sure, but it's not like a staple.
Claim: The Med diet includes small amounts of pork.
Reality: According to what's available on menus and what's in cookbooks, Italians eat a lot of pork. Hello prosciutto, salami, sausages, and pancetta. Just check out any website on traditional pork dishes: https://thespruceeats.com/classic-itali ... es-4096694
Claim: Italians eat nonfat Greek yogurt.
Reality: Not even the Greeks eat nonfat Greek yogurt.
Kun Jäämeri nyt on muutenkin huomion fokuksessa, niin miten olisi Jäämeren ruokavalio? Inuitithan olivat erittäin sydänterveitä niin kauan kuin noudattivat perinteistä ruokavaliotaan.
Stefanssonin mukaan inuitien ruokavalio koostui noin 50-prosenttisesti karibusta, 30-prosenttisesti kalasta, 10-prosenttisesti hylkeestä ja loput sekalaisista riistaeläimistä ja munista.
