    Author: Blondheim SH, Horne T, Davidovich R, Kapitulnik J, Segal S, Kaufmann NA.
    Journal: Isr J Med Sci; 1976 Jul; 12(7):658-61. PubMed ID: 972020.
    Abstract:
    The ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acids in the adipose tissue of Israelis was found to be 0.88 for Ashkenazic Jews and 1.13 for non-Ashkenazic Jews, the highest reported for any population on a free-choice diet. Despite the unusually high ratios, indicating a high consumption of polyunsaturated fat, there is nevertheless, a relatively high incidence of ischemic heart disease among Israelis.
