Good memory! You are correct. When they originally did the study a few years ago, they did come to this conclusion…which is why they did this new study. The four groups of mummies that they tested were the average person. The following is from the article that I linked:

“The team previously had found atherosclerosis in a population of ancient Egyptians, but experts, including Rosalie David at the KNH Centre for Biomedical Egyptology in Manchester, UK, argued that these were elite individuals, who probably ate a rich diet rivalling that of modern gluttons4.

“Now we’ve scanned the common man and woman and they’ve got the same disease,” says Thomas.”

None the less it is something to think about.
