Abstract
A town in lower Normandy seen from Dallas (USA). Alcohol, bread, butter, cheese, cream, sweets ; high cholesterol, but low stress and long life in Bayeux, Lower Normandy (France). Why do the French live longer than the Americans ? And why do the people of Bayeux live even longer than the rest of the population of France though they ingest alcohol, butter, cheese and cream, all that medical research shows to be wrong. In fact, stress in lessened in France because of the cultural construction of the way of life ; in the same way the Normans of Bayeux live in a stable culture steeped in French tradition and have a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease. This is what this research suggests.
