title: Unsaturated fatty acids in adipose tissue of Israeli Jews.
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.
