Consider the benefits of "reasonably low-fat diets, instead of following the North American habit for making the stomach the garbage disposal unit for a long list of harmful foods."

Ancel Keyes, Ph.D., (1904 - 2004) is associated with two diets -- one the most complained about and the other, one of the most popular:  The K-Ration  (small, balanced meals for soldiers created during World War II) and the Mediterranean Diet (the diet practiced by Greeks, Romans and other people living in countries surrounding the Mediterranean for centuries.)  The Mediterranean Diet consists of high proportion of fruits, vegetables, bread, cereals, potatoes, beans, nuts, seeds; olive oil over butter; low to moderate amounts of dairy products and eggs; wine in low to moderate amounts. The key to the Mediterranean Diet is lower amounts of saturated fats.  Practicing what he preached, Keyes lived to be 101.
