Accepted Answer

Controversial: The french paradox is the concept that french people eat a diet rich in saturated fats but surprisingly have a  low incidence of coronary heart disease. It is  controversial.  One explanation may be that in france there is significant consumption of red wine which has been linked in some research to decreased risk for heart attacks.

Question 2

are french bulldogs good with children?

Accepted Answer

No: I have not had personal experience with this specific breed mauling a patient.  Dobermans, German Shepherd, and rottweilers are the top three breeds that maul children.   Training is important, reminding children not to bother the dog while he is eating is important as this is associated with more bites.   One breed which is known to be gentle to kids is a labrador. Good Luck!
