New study published in JAMA Network Open links Mediterranean diet to 23% lower risk of death for women.
Researchers attributed lower mortality risk to Mediterranean diet's impact on heart health.
Women who adhered to the heart-healthy, plant-focused diet had improved cardiometabolic risk factors.
The Mediterranean diet has long been linked to a plethora of health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity and more. In a recent study published in JAMA Network Open by researchers at Harvard University, women who adhered to the heart-healthy, plant-focused diet were found to have a 23% lower risk of death from any cause. The researchers attributed this lower mortality risk to improved cardiometabolic risk factors. The study included data collected from 25,315 healthy women who participated in the Women’s Health Study over a period of 25 years, from April.
The Mediterranean diet was associated with a 23% reduced risk of early death for women in this study.
Closely following the Mediterranean diet lessened the risk of dying from cancer by 17% and dying from cardiovascular disease by 20% for women in this study.
Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was linked to a 6% lower risk of all-cause mortality for each increase in adherence level in this study.

No blatant formal or informal fallacies found in the article. However, there is a slight tendency to present the Mediterranean diet as universally beneficial without acknowledging potential drawbacks or individual differences in response to dietary patterns. This could be seen as an appeal to authority based on existing research and expert opinions, but it does not meet the criteria for a formal fallacy.

The article does not contain any blatant logical fallacies. However, it does make claims based on a specific study without providing the full context or details of the study. It also uses inflammatory rhetoric by referring to the Mediterranean diet as 'heart-healthy' and implying that it can lower risk of death, but does not provide enough information from the study to support such a claim. The author also appeals to authority by mentioning previous studies that have pointed towards the benefits of the Mediterranean diet, but does not elaborate on those studies or how they are related.
