It refers to the phenomenon where French people have low incidences of Coronary Heart disease or other cardiovascular problems while consuming a diet rich in oils and fats compared to Americans where we have a high incidence of Coronary heart disease and cardiovascular issues with the same fat content in foods. This paradox has been attributed to the benefit of drinking red wine as it is cardioprotective.
