Actually Italians do much better than Americans in Type 2 diabetes rates according to the International Diabetes Federation: USA has 50% more diabetes than Italy.

My hunch is Italians have both healthier foods and move a lot more in their daily lives.
At 80, I have few to no health issues and thank goodness without any drugs vitamins/supplmnts, surgeries. Have active lifestyle and good sleep.

I watched a show awhile back that looked at length of life and about people that live to be 100 years old and one of them was a Italian village where it's all hills and cobble stone streets where the people do a lot of walking. I have such bad joints with arthritis and lower back that I can't walk very far without sitting. But also they don't eat as much pasta there as we do here but over all I think they eat less food than we do to begin with. America is bombarded with food and it's not good food.
