The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than Britons or Americans.

The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Britons or Americans.

The Italians drink a great deal of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than Britons or Americans.

Diabetes rates
High blood pressure rates?
Obesity rates?
Activity levels?
