Example Citation:
You've heard of the French paradox — red wine apparently helps keep the arteries clear despite all those cream sauces and buttery croissants. But how about the Asian paradox?

The term was coined in 2006 by Yale researchers to explain the low rates of heart disease and cancer in countries with high rates of cigarette smoking. One theory: The average 1.2 liters of green tea consumed daily by many people in Asia offers antioxidant protection.
—Gigi Lehman, The Supermarket Sleuth: Green tea, The Miami Herald, June 17, 2008
