Dr. Giugliano: The Mediterranean Diet, Origins and Myths takes readers along the historical, archaeological, and scientific path, tracing the development of the Mediterranean diet. From the ancient Egyptians, to the Phoenicians, the Greeks, Etruscans, and Romans, the author delves into the lifestyles and dietary habits of the peoples of mare nostrum.
I then analyze the dietary qualities and characteristics of the Mediterranean diet, bringing in modern research and developing conclusions for useful, every-day applications and living.
Printed in full-color, with 300 illustrations, this is a hardcover, coffee-table format book. Los Angeles Times Weekend Magazine called said, "It is beautiful!" USA Today said, "gorgeous...terrific gift..." And The New England Journal of Medicine called The Mediterranean Diet: Origins and Myths, "...worth owning and reading: the text is valuable, the illustrations are magnificent, and the production overall is excellent. The Mediterranean Diet will enrich the library of any educated person, not only those with medical backgrounds or Mediterranean roots...The book presents the health effects of diet with a simplicity that does not seriously compromise scientific accuracy, and it treats the various Mediterranean cultures with respect, notwithstanding some unattractive dietary habits."
