Since this discussion did not reached a conclusion, reviving it again..
A diet high in saturated fats increases a person’s risk of developing heart disease.Regular consumption of red wine reduces that risk. Per-capita consumption of saturatedfats is currently about the same in France as in the United States, but there is less heartdisease there than in the United States because consumption of red wine is higher inFrance. The difference in regular red-wine consumption has been narrowing, but nosimilar convergence in heart-disease rates has occurred.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to account for the lack of convergence noted
above?
A. Consumption of saturated fats is related more strongly to the growth of fatty deposits on artery walls, which reduce blood flow to the heart, than it is to heart disease directly.
B. Over the past 30 years, per-capita consumption of saturated fats has remained essentially unchanged in the United States but has increased somewhat in France.
C. Reports of the health benefits of red wine have led many people in the United States to drink red wine regularly.
D. Cigarette smoking, which can also contribute to heart disease, is only slightly more common in France than in the United States.
E. Regular consumption of red wine is declining dramatically among young adults in France, and heart disease typically does not manifest itself until middle age.
The OA is E but I don't find it a compelling choice .. I don't find any choices fit the bill...
A - Out of scope..
B,C,and D support the argument that should lead us to believe that actions are being taken to reduce heart disease but none of these choices explain the lack of convergence.
E - Nothing about age is mentioned in the Question stem.. How can we conclude that this is E.
Please explain..

The stem says that US and France wine consumption is getting to be same. If young people in France stop drinking wine, then, in order for the wine consumption to be the same as the US, this means that more older people in France drink wine. Since heart disease occurs in middle age, French will have less heart disease.
