Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

In general, the Mediterranean diet, which is typified in southern Italy and Spain, has been characterized as health promoting due to a high intake of complex carbohydrates, a high intake of protective phytochemicals, and a low intake of fat with a higher proportion of monounsaturated fats from olive oil as compared to saturated animal fats. The greater emphasis on grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruits; lower intakes of meat and dairy foods; and promotion of wine in moderation differentiate the Mediterranean diet from that recommended by U.S. health officials.
