A recent cross-cultural study on the nutrition and food habits, and its impact on heart-disease has finally cut through the previous conflicting findings from other medical studies.
The researchers investigated the food habits of British and North Americans (who have the highest rate of heart-attacks) vis-a-vis the food habits in other cultures. They found that: - The Japanese eat very little fat... and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or North Americans.- The Mexicans eat a lot of fat... and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or North Americans. - The Chinese drink very little red wine... and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or North Americans.- The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine... and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or North Americans. - The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats... and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or North Americans.
