re: Has anyone noticed a lot of Mediterranean diet hype online recently?

If that's so important then why are other equally restrictive diets ranked higher 

I'd argue the vegan diet is about as restrictive as you can possibly get

I wouldn't argue there's some subjectivity in the rankings, but they did drop veganism to #20 and note that was because of how restrictive it is.

So, I get your point about valuation, but they did account for it a bit. They put vegetarianism ahead of veganism largely because of fewer restrictions.

I'm not going to go to bat for them being perfect rankings, but they aren't devoid of consistency. I do think that the longer a diet has been around, the more general acceptance it gains. That's a very fair rebuttal to people in the medical community slow to embrace things like keto.
