In their attempt to identify the reasons for the low risk of heart disease, the researchers first studied the field of nutrition.  But it turned out that the Rosetans loved meatballs and sausages fried in lard with hard and soft cheeses.  That could not have been the reason.  Next they looked at smoking, but it turned out the people from Roseto loved their cigars.  Also not the reason.   After that, they analyzed their drinking habits, but it turned out they drank wine “with seeming abandon.”  Finally, they looked into the working conditions, but most of the Rosetans were working in the surrounding slate quarries where they breathed dust-filled air..
