Reviewer note
The memo provides a bounded, source-grounded signal regarding the association between the Mediterranean diet and cancer mortality. The core claims are well-supported by the cited DOIs. However, the 'Why this is surprising' section introduces specific biological contrasts (ER- vs ER+ breast cancer and Alzheimer's vs dementia) that are not present in the provided source bundle. While the thesis itself is supported, the narrative justification for why the signal is 'surprising' relies on external information not included in the evidence map. This is a fixable issue via bounded edits to the 'Why this is surprising' section.
