I'm just wondering if anyone has the DEFINITIVE story on the Masai people of
Africa (nomadic herders).  I have read that they ate lots of dairy and were
free of heart disease, atherosclerosis etc.  On the other hand I have also
read that the masai did have blocked (50%) arteries but because of their
long walking they had minimised the effect (large aortas?).  It has been a
long time since I read this so I may have the details wrong.  Can anyone
enlighten me as to the true story?
