Abstract

Mediterranean diet (MD) patterns have developed over the past 5000 or more years spreading from the Fertile Crescent and influenced by the conquests of many different civilizations. As a result the MD is in continuous evolution. There is not one single MD, but rather a number of variations on a basic theme adapted to individual country’s cultures. The MD is more than just a diet; it represents a lifestyle, a social cultural expression of the different Mediterranean food cultures.
