The Study
American Cancer Society Guideline for Diet and Physical Activity for cancer prevention.
This study is like a big summary of what other scientists have written about the Mediterranean diet and diabetes. It tells us what topics are popular in research, but it doesn't do any experiments itself, so we can't say for sure if the diet actually prevents diabetes.
