When people say, "Heart disease isn't caused by cholesterol, it's caused by other things like inflammation of the arteries, infections, etc etc...."......
...I would say technically that is only half of it...
Cholesterol is obviously... without a doubt.... a primary factor in heart disease.... it forms plaque in the arteries, and thus causes blockage....
But... the reason cholesterol forms plaque in the arteries is due to damage to the arteries... such as inflammation from infections, stress, etc...
So like.... Would harmful plaque build up occur in someone's arteries without any arterial damage??
I'm not too sure.... But from what I know, it does when there is damage to the arteries..
So I liken it to a loaded gun....
Arterial damage, like inflammation, is like having a gun to your head and pulling the trigger.... in a sense...
And harmful plaque build-up is the loaded bullet
in a way
Now like... I would say that the formation of plaque is a normal healthy bodily function in itself... but if there is too much arterial damage, from say inflammation.... and blood is over-loaded with plaque-forming cholesterol..... then bad complications arise...
So like... really.... it's both artery damage AND too much cholesterol
Complications arise from too much of both
So yeah..
A healthy plant-based diet, without any meat or saturated fat...... along with things like preventing infections..... so NO sugar... and ONLY whole foods (like no white bread, etc)......
... and as well as other healthy lifestyles choices..... like not over-stressing.... and avoid harmful chemicals..... like plastics, etc... the list goes on really....
There are many things which causes imbalance in the human body
Quoting: Capt. James Cook well that's nice and all...but what you said is literally what my doctor's have been telling me since I was 11. it's not a new discovery, it's just mainstream cardiovascular knowledge. but if you figured it out on your own without reading it...I guess that's good for you. Quoting: bigfoot22 I was really inspired to post this for the people who think that cholesterol doesn't even play a role in heart disease :P I know it's obvious and it been said for years.... but like.... there is a growing trend here on GLP in thinking that cholesterol has nothing to do with it
