What this site uses AI for. Some recipes and articles on Official Mediterranean Diet are produced with an AI-assisted workflow. Every published piece goes through automated quality gates that check for:
- Human-sounding voice (no AI cliché vocabulary, no em-dashes, no signaled endings)
- Sourcing — every numeric or named claim is matched to a citation
- SEO and structural integrity
- Lifestyle/sensory voice consistent with our brand
The recipe ingredient lists, methods, and nutrition estimates are produced by AI and reviewed against our quality system. We test recipes ourselves over time and update any that don’t reproduce reliably in a home kitchen — those edits are noted on the recipe page.
The science articles cite real studies. We rely heavily on the PREDIMED trial, the Lyon Diet Heart Study, and ongoing work from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the American Heart Association, and UNESCO’s recognition of the Mediterranean diet as Intangible Cultural Heritage (2010).
If you spot an error in any recipe or article, tell us. We update content; we don’t quietly delete it.
