Naw, the diet usually considered typically French/Mediterranean is
the grain, fruit/veggie, sausage, olive oil, wine combo - but when
ya factor-in chain-smoking & cognac-guzzling, it's a bit deadlier...
Many cultures will show low heart-disease rates, just because they
promote behaviors that kill before heart disease has time to develop.
This doesn't mean that the diets/behaviors common to those cultures
are healthy, just that they skew the statistics.
