Fascinating. Do you mean the mediterranean diet entirely misses the point that what drove health benefits was fasting instead of specific dietary inputs?
That's is the suggestion from the scientists that re-examined it. In fact, there where many scientists that never believed it at the time, and wanted further research, but McGovern famously stated that the government did not have the luxury of time to wait for science.
Any similar nutrition model needs to account for the fact that France, Japan and Korea and have the highest intake of saturated fat, and the longest life expectancy in the world.
I can't imagine this was lost in translation.
