The Mediterranean Diet

This is a rigorous academic reference edited by credentialed nutrition scientists and published by Elsevier — it does exactly what it sets out to do within its specialized lane. But it was never written for the everyday reader, and shelving it under self-help is a mismatch: dense clinical chapters with no practical guidance will frustrate anyone who picked it up hoping to change their eating. Researchers and clinicians will find value; general readers should look elsewhere.
