You’ll sometimes hear about the ‘French paradox’, which describes the phenomenon of low
heart disease rates
in France ‘despite’ a diet rich
in saturated fat. Well, it seems that this ‘paradox’ is not limited to France, but is alive and well in several other countries too including the UK, Germany, Austria, Finland, Belgium, Iceland, the Netherlands and Switzerland. In other words, it’s not a paradox at all. It’s only a paradox if one believes saturated fat causes heart disease.
