Dr mercola sent out a blast just today 're longevity and the Mediterranean diet.
I will get a book out. receipes etc. I have no idea what you'd have for breakfast on the m diet if you can't have fruit due to the sugar content.

For breakfast we do veggies with scrambled eggs, potatoes and yams. Eat that with some buttered bagel. You see, there is a decent amount of fat and carbs involved but it definitely helps with growth. Use olive oil though and a little butter for flavor. And of course fresh herbs! I LOVE fruit btw. I would never cut that out. Wine is a huge part of the Mediterranean diet so I am confused.

Wow that sounds an amazing breakfast. Such a good idea. I looked for M cookbooks today but they were ridiculously expensive so il stick with googling. My mouth is watering btw.
Why are you confused about the wine though? Red wines is very healthy. In moderation but I hear the "moderation" is actually more than what we are told here. No more than one wine a day. I thought the French had wine 's' with lunch and dinner. Mind you French might not be Mediterranean ?

Oh, because of high sugar due to it being from grapes! If you have to cut out fruit, wouldn't you have to cut out wine? I would never cut fruit though. Also, did you read the study of SUPER high levels of arsenic being in many cheaper, popular brand wines? Has really screwed with my head! I haven't been drinking wine lately.
