This is the theme of the book”Science and Mediterranean flavours“, written by Prof. Michele O.

Prof. Carruba explained that: “La Diet Mediterraneanthe only one recognized internationally and supported by solid scientific evidence, offers an ideal combination of flavor and health. It represents a balanced dietary model capable of recognizing the peculiarities of each individual, rich in fruit, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, fish and olive oil, elements that contribute to reducing the risk of chronic diseases. This diet is not only ideal for dealing with obesity problemswhich are constantly increasing globally, but is also effective in combating malnutrition, a problem that threatens Health of millions of people. Its widespread adoption could lead to significant public health improvements by reducing the incidence of pathologies cardiovascular, diabetes and some types of canceras well as promoting general well-being.
