		The French Paradox is the lower-than-expected rate of mortality from coronary heart disease (CHD) in a country where traditional risk factors of CHD (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, diabetes) are not less prevalent than in other industrialised countries and where the diet is rich in animal saturated fat.
		Accordingly, French women do not lose the advantage of the French Paradox for CHD and their life expectancy is one of the best in the world whereas life expectancy of French men is not better than that of other Europeans.
		Thus, the French Paradox is mainly explained by the combination of dietary factors including the many aspects of the Mediterranean style diet (in the South of France), alcohol and wine consumption (everywhere in France but especially in the North) and perhaps dietary diversity (everywhere in France).
