I think the Diary of a Disenfranchised Bookseller is on to something:
No TagsThe Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or the Americans.
On the other hand, the French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or the Americans.
The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or the Americans.
The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or the Americans.
Conclusion: Eat and drink whatever you like. It’s speaking English that kills you.

This is way to go, I think…
well the French reckon that the fat they eat is “better” than the fat we eat as they predominantly consume avian fat such as foie gras, duck, chicken etc whereas they claim we eat mostly beef & pork fat which apparently is worse. but of course that’s probably nonsense
