3. History of the Mediterranean Diet

Although it was first publicized in 1945 by the
American doctor Ancel Keys stationed in
Salerno,Italy, the Mediterranean diet failed to
gain widespread recognition until the
1990s.Mediterranean diet is based on what
from the point of view of mainstream nutrition is
considered a paradox: that although the people
living in Mediterranean countries tend to
consume relatively high amounts of fat, they
have far lower rates of cardiovascular disease
than in countries like the United States, where
similar levels of fat consumption are found.
