The Mediterranean diet, last week I saw something about the Norwegian diet, and now the African Heritage diet. I'm not a dietitian or doctor, but it seems likely that the secret to the health benefits we find in so many traditional diets is that people eating that way aren't ingesting preservatives, and questionably sourced flavorings, and compounds that are only suspected and not proven to give you cancer.

My old boss' diabetes disappeared when he went to Italy and returned upon coming home.

He maintained just the lack of stress and ease of consumption while on vacation was everything. He ate what seemed and looked good when he was hungry, not 'between 6:03-6:08 before driving to a job site' and 'eating a gas station burrito at 2:30 while driving in between two other sites.'
