Thanks for asking the question!

As I mentioned in the earlier response to the sharepost, here's what was cited in the story, "Mediterranean Diet May Boost Alzheimer's Survival," which was featured on this web site:

 

"According to the American Heart Association, diets native to the 16 countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea varies somewhat region to region.

Thanks for asking the question!
