Ethnography

The inhabitants of this island and their lifestyle and nearly exclusively plant-based diet have been the subject of study by researcher Staffan Lindeberg and his colleagues, due to their reported excellent health and traditional diet. Lindeberg et al. have published several works in peer-reviewed journals outlining their discoveries.[1]
