Adopting just a couple of elements of the Mediterranean diet could cut the risk of cancer by 12%, say scientists. A study of 26,000 Greek people found just using more olive oil alone cut the risk by 9%. The diet, reports the British Journal of Cancer, also includes higher amounts of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and less red meat. A separate study found adding broccoli to meals might help men vulnerable to prostate cancer cut their risk.

It still probably as a lot of "not-sure-is-ok-method"..but generaly speaking it is the frist I would take into account. "Meditarranean diet" is clearly defined, groups of foods (arbitrary in a sense) "identify".. and a large number of follow-up to be statisticallys ignificant...
There area bunch of problems still... in the group assembly, and probably regarding the blindness of the method and the "way" people it.
But I would say that it is the first serious proof that certain types of diet improve health in an incremental way...it is the aggreagate that counts.
The famous advise to be healthy "eat food, not much, and with colors" can now be understood in a better , more scientific/human (not rats) context.
A pleasure I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
