He was later awarded his second doctorate (DSc), for his contribution to protein metabolism in health and disease. He is Professor of Clinical Biochemistry (Hon) at King’s College Hospital and Emeritus Professor of Nutritional Biochemistry at King’s College London. He has Honorary Professorships at the University of Hull, and the University of Suffolk. Professor Preedy was the Founding Director and then long-term Director of the Genomics Centre at King’s College London from 2006 to 2020. Professor Preedy has been awarded fellowships of the Royal Society of Biology, the Royal College of Pathologists, the Royal Society for the Promotion of Health, the Royal Institute of Public Health, the Royal Society for Public Health, the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Royal Society of Medicine. He carried out research when attached to the National Heart Hospital (part of Imperial College London), The School of Pharmacy (now part of University College London) and the MRC Centre at Northwick Park Hospital. He has collaborated with international research groups in Finland, Japan, Australia, USA, and Germany. To his credit, Professor Preedy has published over 750 articles, which includes peer-reviewed manuscripts based on original research, abstracts and symposium presentations, reviews and edited books.

Ronald Ross Watson, PhD, is Professor of Health Promotion Sciences at the University of Arizona, Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health.

The Mediterranean Diet: An Evidence-Based Approach, Second Edition provides authoritative material on the many different facets of the complex interrelationships between diet, nutrition, health and well-being. The book begins with historical, cultural and scientific foundations, then goes on to provide supportive evidence to embrace a holistic approach in understanding the Mediterranean diet from the cell to the well-being of geographical populations. Broken into five distinct sections, The Mediterranean Diet: An Evidence-Based Approach, Second Edition addresses concepts and overviews, components of the diet, the medical, health, and nutritional aspects of the diet, molecular aspects of the diet, and novel nutraceuticals and plants used in the Mediterranean region.Section 1 covers the origins of the Mediterranean diet, nutritional adequacy, agricultural practices, food culture, mortality, quality of life, children and adolescents, behaviour, cardiovascular diseases, diet quality, nutritional knowledge, and the Prevention with Mediterranean diet study. Section 2 includes chapters on nuts, minerals, olive oil, hydroxytyrosol, water, milk, wine, beer, herbs, date palm fruit, dried fruit, raisins, and culinary techniques. Section 3 addresses antioxidant nutritional status, ketogenics, adiposity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular risk, the overweight, cancer prevention, breast cancer, gastric adenocarcinoma, arthritis, asthma, allergies, pregnancy, acne, heavy metals, reflux disease, cognition, mental wellbeing, sleep, female and male fertility, atherosclerosis, depression, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, gut microbiota, adherence, age-related macular degeneration, weight and waist circumference, fraility and metabolomics. Section 4 provides coverage of nutrigenetics, epigenetics, the link between epigenetics and pregnancy, gene polymorphisms bone health, insulin signalling inflammatory gene expression, and molecular aspects of oleocanthal.. Finally, material on aromatic plants, phenolics, photoprotection, Crataegus spp., figs (Ficus carica L.), Geodia cydonium, and wild thistles (Onopordum spp.) are presented in Section 5.Contributors are of international and national standing, leaders in the field, and trendsetters. Emerging fields of the Mediterranean diet science and important discoveries relating to diet and nutrition will also be incorporated in The Mediterranean Diet: An Evidence-Based Approach, Second Edition.This represents essential reading for nutritionists, dietitians, health care professionals, research scientists, biochemists, physicians, general practitioners, public health practitioners, as well as those interested in health.
