One day Dr Gundry I'm gonna tell you about my Italian grandmother who lived to 102. Many of her healthy ways have come back to me after reading your books.

My dad was Calabrese and my mom was Polish and olive oil, garlic, pine nuts were staples. I’ve never been sick a day in my life. Listen to Dr. Gundry!!❤

I’ve traveled all over Italy. It is diet and lifestyle. Italians eat several small portions, very few processed foods and are very physically active generally. There is very little obesity in the young and middle aged.

Best red wine you can drink is Barbera, named for the grape, not region, though most is produced in the northern part of Italy. The 'Paisans' refer to this as 'black wine' because it is so dark in colorand rich in nutrients. Part of my ancestry.

I think Genetics My Italian grandmother lived to mid 90 s and ate everything and cooked everthing "supposedly" bad. She even ate the fat off the pork roast. And her siblings 7 of them all lived long and her brothers ate and cooked everything. Very confusing, My mother in law 77 walks 6 miles a day for over 25 years very fit and cannot control bad cholesterol and eats like a rabbit
