I don't get this point. They even talk about a specific diet and Q&A around it in this article. There are superfoods and "miracle" diets. The whole "Blue Zones" diets all have similar foods to what is mentioned about Mediterranean.

- BizarroLand 4y agoNo food is a superfood unless you are deficient in some vitamin or mineral that it contains in excess. I had bloodwork done and was found to be low in potassium. Avocados have a lot of potassium. For fixing my potassium deficiency, avocados were like a miracle. I eat something with avocados at least once a month and my levels stay normal. There is no food, vitamin, or mineral that will guarantee a specific outcome outside of bringing you up to or above baseline, and in many (but not all) cases, being above baseline for some substance will simply cause your body to flush the excess out.
