<< One
thing to bear in mind is that French people now, and also Spanish,
Portuguese, Italians, Greeks and Turks all have less than one-third the US
heart attack rate. And also, the "Spanish paradox" is that as the meat
consumption in these southern European countries is increasing, the heart
attack rate is decreasing. So their modern current diet is healthier than
the
current US diet, and it is also superior to the "Mediterranean" diet, which
is heavy on pasta. So what's going on?>>

  What's going on is the regular availablility of naturally fed animals.
This makes the meat much lower in saturated fat and higher in monounaturated
fat, low in omega-6's, and high in omega-3's.

  In most places in Europe, raw milk is readily available for consumption
and cheesemaking.

    These are the things that make the differences.
