The myth of red wine, heart health, and longevity has been pretty thoroughly debunked. While it’s true that many long-living people drink, research suggests they live long despite alcohol not because of it.

  2. Here's the thing… they walk a lot more on average, their work life is more regulated with things like mandatory vacations, and, hear me out, they're a bitch to everybody. They don't internalize or stress about it. They just say it. And then, when they get home, and they're complaining about the idiot shop girl or the stupid tourists… they have that wine, and RELAX.

  3. It is a mistery for Europeans too, let alone US and their incomparably unhealthy eating. Is it bc French people eat less carbs? Surely they eat less than Italians and drink more alcohol on a daily bases. They drink INSTEAD of eating. From my experience I have seen French people eating no carbs, not binging on sweets, eating smaller portions of food, eating only one main course meal only once a day, drinking instead of having a meal, walking a lot and always on a hurry (power walking) using public transportation.
    Italians are more sedentary, eat more carbs, bigger portions, always having 2 meals, not drinking that much on a daily basis, using the car a lot due to poor pub transp infrastructure.
    The "germanic" world is a completely different story. After a certain, relatively young, age they just seem to expand, as if all the years of bad habits kick in at once.
    That's my impression of the European food and drink culture and its repercussions on the body in my personal experience.

  4. It’s because there’s no medical evidence linking saturated fat with heart disease. It’s just “believed” that it causes it. Fat is good for you.

  5. Theory on this is simpler than that: vegan propaganda about "saturated fats" and carcinogenic properties of meat is bullshit. Your welcome.

  6. The French happily subscribe to the "zero fucks given" philosophy. That keeps em healthy.
    Us Americans are a nation of Karens who never shut the fuck up and leave each other alone. That, plus Mississippi, is why we're so fat.

  7. The reason, saturated fat doesn’t make you fat or give high colesterol, gmo wheat Processed Sugar and artificial foods do

  8. Everyday common man French food is pretty light. In fact so are almost all countries common man food. The famous dishes around the world are mostly from the rich who had abundant buffalos cows and animals to provide these things. A plain potato stew with horse meat that let a Frenchman survive winter would obviously not be something people around the world like.

  9. This is because heart attacks are actualky caused by vegetable oil. The people who made vegetable oil almost got shut down for causing heart attacks and their solution was to co-found the American heart association and devlare vegetable oil safe.

  10. This "French Paradox" shows how scientists do not do science. In well done science when data comes in contradicting a theory then eventually the theory should be changed to thrown out to conform to the empirical data. But establishment scientists have been so wedded to their theory that all saturated fat is unhealthy that when the French diet indicates otherwise, they refuse to change their theories and simply call it a "mysterious" paradox. Or attribute it to wine.

  11. Could it be that all of that saturated fat in the French diet is not only no unhealthy…but actually might be healthy after all. No, the establishment is too wedded to its preconceived nations to change their minds when presented with contradicting evidence.

  12. Just ignore the obvious conclusion that butter and cream and cheese are good for you,

  13. have you heard of wikipedia?
    In 1999, Malcolm Law and Nicholas Wald published a study in the British Medical Journal,[2] using data from a 1994 study of alcohol and diet to explain how the French paradox might actually be an illusion, caused by two statistical distortions.

  14. I'm glad to see someone talking about resveratrol when many health/wellness ppl on YT/TickTock talk about supplementing with it – as it is pricey.

  15. My, as a medical researcher, its good to see objective research results discussed on the internet. Amazing. We need more of this

  16. Its only USA that eat big portions filled with ingredients that are forbidden in the rest of the world…france is not even a good example…they eat too much bread…much healthier diets you find in spain,greece and italy …😃

  17. It's because saturated fat doesn't cause heart disease. The seed oils w/ high polyunsaturated fat is the culprit.

  18. Used to be true. French had a habit of not eating between meals. Light breakfast. Lunch for a king. Dinner light enough for a pauper. Not big on sugar.

  19. Born and raised in France. It's not the food. It's the lack of stress and plenty of French women lol. And of course the socialist policies.

  20. Plus good cheese not all cheese are pure saturated fat neither is butter. Just dont consume an overwhelming amount of it.

  21. Why overlook the fact that moderation alcohol lowers blood sugar for type 2 diabetics or keep it in check for non diabetics. Sugar is the killer. Red wine helps control it
