Researchers have developed a novel way to detect whether a person follows a Mediterranean diet using a blood test and, applying this method, have shown that a Mediterranean diet is associated with lower risk of type 2 diabetes. Jakub Sobiecki of the University of Cambridge, U.K., and colleagues present these findings April 27 in the open access journal PLOS Medicine.
