What explanation can you provide for that cardiovascular disease has long been an epidemic in our country but not in some european countries

An example of European country is France, which does not have an epidemic on Cardiovascular  Disease, compared to the United States. French eat a high-fat diet, yet they have a lower rate of heart disease. The main reason maybe because of Wine, as this may play some role in the heart health of France. Natural antioxidants found in wine, tea, grapes and other fruits help keep LDL (“bad”) cholesterol down. French wine drinkers also have this habit of eating more amount of vegetables and beans. Furthermore, one study shows that French adults who have one alcoholic drink a day are less likely to smoke than their countrymen who drink more or who avoid alcohol.
