Re: Dutch treats

They probably regularly ate foods fried in lard as well. Cholesterol isn't even a component of plaque (it's lipoprotein-A bound by lysine) and it is deposited in response to micro-fissures in the arterial walls (it's a life saving measure that overshoots the mark). That's why it tends to be limited to the proximal arteries - the ones subjected to the greatest amount of expansion and contraction. I would imagine they never consumed or used (in cooking) partially hydrogenated vegetable fats - just butter and lard (thus reducing the likelihood of alimentary carcinomas). There's definitely something to be said for such a lifestyle.

My grandfather was Irish and died fairly young (thanks to drinking heavily and the things he did while inebriated), but my grandmother also lived to a ripe old age of 92 (and was self-sufficient until her final few months).
