Are Italians heathier than Americans?

Overall, Americans are more obese and have higher cholesterol than Italians, mainly due to differences in diet. Americans love fast food which is invariably higher in fat content and lower in nutritional value. Italians also drink more wine which can have a cholesterol lowering effect even in fairly small amounts. Life expectancy is slightly higher in Italy but it's a tiny difference and studies like this can be manipulated. For instance, the People's Republic of China supposedly has the longest life expectancy but that's very hard to measure externally so we have to rely on numbers provided by their government.
