If you actually read the diet (framework), it makes total sense.   To avoid a statin drug, I changed my whole way of eating which meant water, no diet pop, no added sugar and most important, no added fats.  As I read the mind diet, I can say those are by basic foods I now eat.  I remember reading years ago, raw nut eaters tend to be healthier. Read about lipids.  Good fats trunp bad!
