This article is as much about animal fat and general diet as it is about
alcohol. It is an attempt to explain the so-called "French Paradox."


"We propose," say the authors "that the difference is due to the time lag
between increases in consumption of animal fat and serum cholesterol
concentrations and the resulting increase in mortality from heart disease
similar to the recognised time lag between smoking and lung cancer.
Consumption of animal fat and serum cholesterol concentrations increased
only recently in France but did so decades ago in Britain."
