Search argument in NCBI is 'hormesis diet'

From part II:
'I think that overall, the evidence suggests that polyphenol-rich foods are healthy in moderation, and eating them on a regular basis is generally a good idea. Certain other plant chemicals, such as suforaphane found in cruciferous vegetables, and allicin found in garlic, exhibit similar effects and may also act by hormesis (27). Some of the best-studied polyphenol-rich foods are tea (particularly green tea), blueberries, extra-virgin olive oil, red wine, citrus fruits, hibiscus tea, soy, dark chocolate, coffee, turmeric and other herbs and spices, and a number of traditional medicinal herbs. A good rule of thumb is to "eat the rainbow", choosing foods with a variety of colors.'

This sounds like the Mediterranean diet to me.

There is a lot of stuff out there on polyphenols. But I thought this was interesting because it used human volunteers. Also, apple polyphenols have several interesting studies. This guy rejected the importance of polyphenols but now thinks they're interesting?

I guess this study from 2005 may satisfy his 'second mechanism.'

Hormesis. Yep.
