According to The Mediter-
ranean Diet, Greece has one of
the lowest rates of cardiovascu-
lar disease and cancer in the
West ... As a medical student in
Athens, cardiology professor
Christos Aravanis never saw a
heart attack among Greeks, and
began a study of cardiovascular
disease in Crete and Corfu ... In
Crete, heart disease death was
extraordinarily rare ... 1.5 cases
per 1,000 ... In Corfu, where the
diet included more calories, more
meat, more alcohol and less olive
oil, the rate was much more ... 13
per 1,000.
Quite possibly, what most peo-
ple of Crete are doing right could
be their Mediterranean diet ...
Meats and dairy products are
rare in the villages ... Their typ-
ical diet, says Dr. Aravanis, in-
cluded boiled greens, olives and
olive oil ... 90 percent of their dai- -
ly calorie intake came from grains
and olive oils ... They drank one
to two glasses of wine a day.
