19. Heart disease is a much less problem in France than it is in United States and other industrialized countries, despite a high consumption of saturated fats in France. One theory is that this lower rate heart disease is due to the fact that the French drink more wine. This so-called French paradox heightened an interest in moderate wine drinking. Figure
