Medeterrian eating has the most publications, but Keto has the most RCTs (randomized control trials)...

So when people say Medeterrian is the most published that's fair, but also it's fair to say Keto is the most studied.

Doing some digging, here are the RCTs I could find... but this is super messy, I'm just trying to see the total RCT trials, but not all the papers from those trials. So if a single trial gets 11 papers I just try to count it once.

Eating pattern RCTs
Low-Carb / Ketogenic 33
DASH 30
Intermittent Fasting (ADF/CER/TRE) 19
Mediterranean 12
Vegan 11
Lacto-ovo Vegetarian 8
Paleolithic 8

FYI: I've clicked on 2 of your IF links and they both go to unrelated studies (Liu 2022, Thomas 2021).

Yup, fuck, your right.
