The fact that you were healthy, in good shape, and got an ambulance quickly probably was a significant contributor to your survival.

I remember that as well, and I think you're referring to Jim Fixx, who wrote "The Complete Book of Running", and who died of a heart attack at 52, after a run. What was uncovered later (by Kenneth Cooper) was that Fixx was genetically predisposed to having a heart attack, having an enlarged heart, and earlier in his life he had been a heavy smoker, overweight, and was under stress from his job, and a divorce.
Thanks for posting, Holly. This just happened to a friend of mine, and I may send her the video.

More on trans fats
Don't take my word for it:
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/08/health/fda-trans-fats.html?pagewanted=1&_r=0
"Partially hydrogenated oils are cheaper than saturated animal fats like butter, and for years were thought to be healthier. They are formed when liquid oil is treated with hydrogen gas and made solid. They became popular in fried and baked goods and in margarine. Crisco, originally marketed in the beginning of the 20th century, was the archetype, although it now contains no trans fat.
But over the years, scientific evidence has shown they are dangerous because they raise the levels of so-called bad cholesterol and can lower the levels of good cholesterol."
