She didn't eat donuts and fries, true. She was born in 1926 in rural eastern Slovakia, so her staples were meat (including cheap, highly processed meat), local variant of pasta (halušky), plus a lot of animal fat. Her cholesterol was something like 9,5, often exceeding 10. She also smoked for 30 years, but stopped around 65 years of age. Theoretically, her arteries should have been clogged like crazy. They weren't.
