You’ve heard of the Mediterranean Diet and its derivatives, the “Aegean Diet”, or even better yet, the “Cretan Diet”, now get ready for the “Cretan aspirin”, which manufacturers hope will soon be found on store shelves near you.
According to information posted on the cretapost.gr site, the so—called “Cretan Aspirin” will be ready this summer.
The product comes after years of work by a research team at the University of Crete, in collaboration with the Union of Farm Cooperatives of Rethymno and the drug maker Gallenica.
An international patent has also reportedly been given, with the “aspirin” billed as a “natural solution” to the common cold and flu.
