Background: The Mediterranean diet (MD) has been studied for its benefits, including metabolic risk factors, since the 1950s. In recent years, debates around barriers to access within cultural and environmental fields have arisen within non-Eurocentric cultural backgrounds. Using data related to health benefits derived from dietary components, this review will produce a map of MD modifications to match various cultures. Methods: Foods and constituents of the MD were compared and analyzed to assess benefits for both healthy and metabolic disease states using both empirical and theoretical approaches. Databases (PubMed and Cochrane) were searched using terms for cultural diets and metabolic disease outcomes associated with the MD (e.g., HbA1C, cholesterol, waist circumference, weight, AST and ALT). One multicultural diet database was chosen to identify culturally specific foods that match components of the MD to each cultural affinity. Results: Cultural alternatives to foods and components of the MD exist. However, there is modest research on the specific health effects of most culturally adapted diets. Conclusion: While some evidence gaps exist, it is feasible to translate most components of the MD to diets suitable for various cultural affinities. Future research is needed to examine the overall effects of these diets based on MD macronutrient presentation and the barriers associated with cultural–religious dietary practices and access to foods. Healthcare practitioners may benefit from this as a resource and to facilitate inclusivity and cultural competency for a broader range of dietary behaviours.

“…Within these last two years, we have also undergone further updates to our Policies and Guidelines to include guidelines for the nomenclature of TCIMs (which we developed based on CONSORT guideline extensions relating to herbal and Chinese medicine) 1,2 and to incorporate standards for Indigenous authorship, the use of Indigenous medicines, and citation standards for traditional Indigenous Knowledge Keepers. 3 We are now entering our third year as a digital publication, and I'm delighted to be able to introduce this Special Edition, containing six umbrella reviews from the WNF, an international task force of researchers and clinicians supported by the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) and the Australian Research Consortium in Complementary and Integrative Medicine (ARCCIM). To reach as wide an audience as possible, CANDJ has agreed to make this entire edition an Open Access publication; in this way, we hope to demonstrate our commitment to publishing the work of naturopathic researchers, internationally as well as within Canada.…”
