It is difficult to find the moment when the idea for a book is
first born. For this book, the basic concept was probably born
during conversations I had in Parma, Italy, with Dr. Riccardi of
the University of Naples and Dr. Jenkins of the University of
Toronto (Canada). Later, in a conference room at the University of
Verona (Italy) School of Medicine, I had a day-long meeting with
Drs. Bosello and Cominacini of the University of Verona, and Drs.
Jenkins and Riccardi and their co-workers. After an intense working
day, the general plan of this book was completed. The title
Mediterranean diets rather than diet was appropriately cho- sen as
there is more than one Mediterranean diet, a point discussed in
chapter 1. This chapter focuses on the definition of a
Mediterranean diet and no matter what the reader's interest may be,
it is imperative that this first chapter be carefully read. We
should always remember that there are-from a preventive medi- cine
point of view-good and poor Mediterranean diets. The best exam- ple
is probably the difference between the high olive oil, high
carbohy- drate, low meat diet of southern Italy and the high
saturated fat, higher meat diets of the northern Italians.
Prevalence of disease parallels these differences. Chapter 2 covers
some ancient history in an easy-to-read manner that is
instructional as well as fascinating even for the nonmedical
scientist or the nonhistorian.
