Of course it goes without saying that some Italians can mess things up by overeating certain food items like spaghetti, meatballs and sausage. In other words, if they gain too much weight by overeating the wrong foods, olive oil and wine may not be enough to prevent disease.

According to Dr Esslestyn some studies have shown a slight decrease in LDL and a slight increase in HDL connected to olive oil. But longer term studies and autopsies of the people in these studies have shown no difference in coronary artery disease between the people in these studies.
