520    "Recent large-scale epidemiological studies have confirmed
       the pre-eminence of the Mediterranean diet for reducing 
       the risk of primary and secondary heart disease and 
       cancer. There is also increasingly convincing evidence for
       its protective value against diabetes, dementias and other
       age-related disorders, and for increasing overall 
       longevity.The Mediterranean Diet: Science and Health is a 
       timely, authoritative and accessible account of the 
       Mediterranean diet for nutritionists and dieticians. It 
       discusses the Mediterranean diet in the light of recent 
       developments in nutritional biochemistry, disease 
       mechanisms and epidemiological studies, and also provides 
       advice on nutrition policies and interventions.The 
       Mediterranean Diet: Science and Health opens with an 
       overview of the Mediterranean diet, and this is followed 
       by a survey of the latest epidemiological evidence for its
       health benefits. There is detailed nutritional information
       on olive oil, wine, fish, fruit and vegetables and other 
       components of the Mediterranean diet, and this information
       is used to explain how the diet protects against a range 
       of age-related diseases. The book emphasises the 
       importance of understanding the Mediterranean diet in its 
       totality by discussing the evidence for beneficial 
       interactions between various components of the diet. There
       are also discussions of how agricultural practices, as 
       well as food preparation and cooking techniques, influence
       the nutritional quality of the diet. The book concludes by
       discussing the social context in which the Mediterranean 
       diet is eaten, and public health issues associated with 
       adopting a Mediterranean diet, especially in the context 
       of more northerly countries.Written by nutritional 
       biochemist Richard Hoffman and the current President of 
       the French Nutrition Society, Mariette Gerber, who between
       them have many years experience in this area, this 
       exciting and highly topical boook is an essential purchase
       for all nutritionists and dietitians worldwide. Libraries 
       in all universities where nutrition, dietetics and food 
       science and technology are studied and taught should have 
       copies of this excellent book on their shelves"--
