In this YouTube short, Dr. Dino Prato clarifies that the Mediterranean diet he advocates is the authentic, ancient version, not the modern, commercialized interpretation. He emphasizes that the true diet consists of high‑quality extra‑virgin olive oil, sprouted seeds, grass‑fed meats, fish, and lamb—foods his grandparents traditionally ate. He contrasts this with the contemporary “Mediterranean” that includes pasta, gelato, sugars, and cheap seed oils, arguing that the latter lacks the nutritional precision needed for effective cancer‑related dietary strategies.

Now let's be clear about one thing. The Mediterranean diet I'm talking about is not cheap seed oils or cheap olive oil or what you've seen all over the place that they call the Mediterranean diet. I'm talking about the real ancient diet. I'm talking about the real high-quality extra virgin olive oil, sprouting your seeds, using meats that are grass-fed, using fish, lamb, and all these foods that we saw that are very powerful. Not the modern one, not the one that has pasta, gelato, sugars, cheap oils, but the version that my grandparents used to use. The old Mediterranean diet. And I'm talking about that original diet, the one that so many people use for years.
