Morley Safer found, in 1991, that the French may have lower rates of heart attacks because their diet is high in cheese and wine.
The French diet the paradox has begun to intrigue foreign researchers among them dr. Curt Ellison a cardiologist and professor at the School of Public Health at Boston University has helped dr. Ellison is launching a major study in four countries comparing three nations diets over a one-year period with the
French he is in Lyon to consult with French scientists and to have the odd good meal I was just looking in this restaurant we’re having lunch this is something you just wouldn’t find in an American restaurant Elena’s salad bowl which is pig’s head pate with parsley black pudding which
You know it’s very fat and potatoes in oil double fat sliced tripe social mood onions and hot sausage with lentils and potatoes a lot this is routine stuff the farmers have been eating this for years everything a very high fat diet it seems and yet they don’t get hard to
Lose if we took the same diet put it into an American you know we would all be suffering from the corners at an early age there’s something about the presence seems to be protecting them and we’re not sure what it is we’re looking for most American nutritionists degree
That dairy fat including cheese is a major enemy to a healthy heart and here is the paradox again in France there are cheese shops everywhere and hundreds of varieties and textures from triple creme to soft breeze and camembert each French man woman and child consumes a full 40
Pounds of cheese each year does cheese deserve its bad reputation dr. Renault says no it is milk we must be careful of surveys in different countries show a very very strong relationship between the intake of milk and the multi Terry from Coney heart disease why for cheese
It’s there is no relationship at all dr. Renault believes is the difference in the nature of calcium and milk and cheese in cheese perhaps because of fermentation the calcium neutralizes the fat combines with it aunt it is then excreted by the body rather than absorbed cold milk he says promotes
Heart disease because the calcium will not combine with the fat which is absorbed into the bloodstream he’s tested his theory on rats and here is our study we’ve gone green camembert with milk see these the first two cages our camembert and he’s one are fed meal in comparable amount of fat and calcium
His proof is in the rat doodle the cheese fed rats had eliminated virtually all the dairy fed he also found that in dissecting the animals the milk fed rats arteries were clogged while the others were clear it’s a wonderful theory he has he is the only one who’s really
Doing research on this right now as far as I’m aware we’re not doing a new research on this in the United States right now this is something new and it’s a very exciting possibility to help explain this paradox yet if you go to the north in France then isn’t not that
Much olive oil they’re using more better enrollment of course and yet the rates are still lower there and why why are the rates in little layer lower than in Boston well my explanation is of course the consumption of alcohol there has been for years the belief by doctors in
Many countries that alcohol in particular red wine reduces the risk of heart disease now it’s been all but confirmed the wine apparently affects the platelets the smallest of the blood cells it is platelets that cause blood to clot they prevent bleeding but they also cling to rough fatty deposits on
The artery walls clogging and finally blocking the artery and causing a heart attack the wine has a flushing effect it removes platelets from the artery wall so the answer to the riddle the explanation of the paradox may lie in this inviting glass

I like fatty French cheese
Lol: We want to export wine…
The secret: no snack, no "fast Food", no sodas, lot of fish, 3 meals a day, eating mindfully etc…
2 best example for food: Crete, japan…
It turned out obesity had nothing to do with fat. It was explained in that article called "Obesity: My Unexpected Final Conclusion".
ok, drink wine, eat fish, 5 meals a day, run 3 times a week. it's the secret
I'll drink to that.
this is quality cheese not cheese wiz
rat doo doo lol
And fuck every day too !!!!
The secret ?
Enjoy everything in French cuisine but eat small portions…..
Indeed. The French have real cheese. "Cheese" in America is really "cheesefood substitute" made from horse hooves and fossil fuel. Us Americans are uncultured and have no taste. We can't tell the difference.
No paradox: they enjoy small portions, they walk a lot, they don't drink milk as a beverage.
Asians are slim also, they don't eat cheese, they don't drink milk, they eat a lot of rice, and ALSO drink a lot of MILK and BEER. (yes they do, I live in China). Paradox crash!
In France Cheese is a desert not an appetizer!
It's sad how this "paradox" turned out to be false. The research of the French population didn't go back far enough to show the results.
There are several published papers on pubmed that show resveratrol working in congunction with other therapies to destroy tumors. It is the combination of sunlight, A.O.C. butter and cheese plus high antioxidant wine. Italians do not put the controls that the French put on wine and cheese and the results speak for themselves.
the answer is in the high amount of vitamin K2 in the diet.
The French paradox is a myth.
Quality diet high in saturated fat and protein from organic sources.
It’s not just the wine. In France (well in Europe and throughout the old world), people walk or bike everywhere because everything is within close proximity to one’s house, in the states, we drive everywhere because everything is sprawled out and too far for one to walk
Shoutout if you're in Brian W's class
Lyon food is known for not being light !! And people don't eat like that everyday.
I don't think it's just the food. it's also the enjoying the food and not just gobbling it and the socializing.
The reportage that change the wine industry for ever°!!!!
This video was way ahead of the time that not many believed or understood it
It’s because the sugar industry has convinced Americans that fat is what makes you fat in order to sell sugar and other cheap carb heavy food. In reality, fat is not giving Americans heart disease, it’s actually the carbs and refined sugars found in everything we make. Don’t be afraid to eat a ribeye steak folks!
I have an hypothesis that saturated fats cause heart disease. French eat more of these and have less cardio vascular disease. Instead of revising my hypothesis i rather create a paradox and sell more wine. French Genius ( Le génie français)
In France, it seems like people are embarrassed to be obese. That’s the simple answer
The wine industry made a fortune of this “paradox”, but it wasn’t a paradox after all. It was later revealed that French doctors were simply reporting a lot of heart attack deaths as simply “sudden death”. The data was faulty leading to a conclusion that wine 0:07 drinkers and sellers eagerly and unquestionably embraced, but a faulty conclusion nonetheless. Proving again that the person we are most likely to fool is ourselves.
It's called a paradox because they cannot admit sarurated fat is not bad and it's the processed carbs killing people. Fast rising bread is american junk food. Fat is good for you. It is energy. Your body is made of it. It's not made of carbohydrates you morons
It’s the Raw cheeses and dairy! Pasteurization kills the miraculous properties of dairy and raw milk! The French Paradox is eating RAW dairy and cheeses!
