    Have you seen this Health Study?
    The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Britons or Americans.

    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.

    The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat sausage and other fatty foods and suffer fewer heart attacks than Britons and Americans.

    THE MEDICAL CONCLUSION IS:

    Eat and drink whatever you want. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

    Well, the obvious conclusion is that heart disease is a complicated and compounding problem and that the entire lifestyle of a person needs to be taken into account, not just single precursors.

    Agree.


    I know the op presented this humorously,

    But did this "studies" control for other risk factors?

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