While I was recovering from a silly cold, I watched the first part of “The Italian Americans,” a documentary on PBS, that I had DVR’d the previous week. One of the most wonderful technological advances I ever learned. I sail through commercials on network television. (I digress.)
Anyway, one of the topics covered was about Italian Americans in Roseto, a small town in eastern Pennsylvania, which became part of a national study during the 1950s, due to their longevity. Most particularly, heart attacks were 40 percent lower than expected. They looked at every physical factor — food choices, level of activity, weight, smoking — everything was the same as neighboring towns.
