Eating for a Healthy Heart: Explaining the French Paradox

by John Yudkin, Sara Stanner

Eating for a Healthy Heart examines why the French incidence of heart disease is only a third of that in the U.S., despite a French national diet filled with high-cholesterol foods. The authors highlight the key ingredients of the French diet--fish, olive oil, red wine, onion, garlic, and a prodigious amount of fresh fruits and vegetables--and show how elements in these ingredients can prevent heart disease.

Published in 1997, so some things have changed a bit, but the basic premise - now commonly labeled “The Mediterranean Diet” - still holds. Useful reading - and some interesting recipes to boot.
