No clinical signs of atheriosclerosis
could be found during a four week field
survey carried out among 400 Masai men,
women and children in 1962 in South Masailand.
Although the Masai consumed a diet mainly
composed of meat, milk and blood, the
men had low levels of serum cholesterol
and no evidence for atheriosclerotic heart
disease. The hyphothesis that the higher
intake of animal fat leads to a higher
the risk of coronary heart disease was
examined in this study. The authors concluded
that some overriding protective mechanism
was present due to the freedom from emotional
stress and the high level of physical
exercise.
