The Mediterranean Diet

The Mediterranean Diet described succinctly by Keys in 1997 as "pasta in many forms, leaves sprinkled with olive oil, all kinds of vegetables in season, and often cheese, all finished off with fruit and frequently washed down with wine" was first defined in 1954 after a study of the eating habits of a small Cilentean village called Rofrano.
