Heart Surgeon Speaks Out On What Really Causes Heart Disease -- Health & Wellness -- Sott.net

These recommendations are no longer scientifically or morally defensible. The discovery a few years ago that inflammation in the artery wall is the real cause of heart disease is slowly leading to a paradigm shift in how heart disease and other chronic ailments will be treated.

The long-established dietary recommendations have created epidemics of obesity and diabetes, the consequences of which dwarf any historical plague in terms of mortality, human suffering and dire economic consequences.

Despite the fact that 25% of the population takes expensive statin medications and despite the fact we have reduced the fat content of our diets, more Americans will die this year of heart disease than ever before.

Statistics from the American Heart Association show that 75 million Americans currently suffer from heart disease, 20 million have diabetes and 57 million have pre-diabetes. These disorders are affecting younger and younger people in greater numbers every year.

Simply stated, without inflammation being present in the body, there is no way that cholesterol would accumulate in the wall of the blood vessel and cause heart disease and strokes. Without inflammation, cholesterol would move freely throughout the body as nature intended. It is inflammation that causes cholesterol to become trapped.

Inflammation is not complicated -- it is quite simply your body's natural defence to a foreign invader such as a bacteria, toxin or virus. The cycle of inflammation is perfect in how it protects your body from these bacterial and viral invaders. However, if we chronically expose the body to injury by toxins or foods the human body was never designed to process,a condition occurs called chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is just as harmful as acute inflammation is beneficial.

The rest of us have simply followed the recommended mainstream diet that is low in fat and high in polyunsaturated fats and carbohydrates, not knowing we were causing repeated injury to our blood vessels. This repeated injury creates chronic inflammation leading to heart disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity.

Let me repeat that: The injury and inflammation in our blood vessels is caused by the low fat diet recommended for years by mainstream medicine.

What are the biggest culprits of chronic inflammation? Quite simply, they are the overload of simple, highly processed carbohydrates (sugar, flour and all the products made from them) and the excess consumption of omega-6 vegetable oils like soybean, corn and sunflower that are found in many processed foods.

There is but one answer to quieting inflammation, and that is returning to foods closer to their natural state. To build muscle, eat more protein. Choose carbohydrates that are very complex such as colorful fruits and vegetables. Cut down on or eliminate inflammation- causing omega-6 fats like corn and soybean oil and the processed foods that are made from them.

One tablespoon of corn oil contains 7,280 mg of omega-6; soybean contains 6,940 mg. Instead, use olive oil or butter from grass-fed beef.

Animal fats contain less than 20% omega-6 and are much less likely to cause inflammation than the supposedly healthy oils labelled polyunsaturated. Forget the "science" that has been drummed into your head for decades. The science that saturated fat alone causes heart disease is non-existent. The science that saturated fat raises blood cholesterol is also very weak. Since we now know that cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease, the concern about saturated fat is even more absurd today.

The cholesterol theory led to the no-fat, low-fat recommendations that in turn created the very foods now causing an epidemic of inflammation. Mainstream medicine made a terrible mistake when it advised people to avoid saturated fat in favor of foods high in omega-6 fats. We now have an epidemic of arterial inflammation leading to heart disease and other silent killers.

For the people who dont wanna read he is saying eat less sugar ,processed food and unsaturated fats and eat more protein ,complex carbs and saturated fats


Ive always had doubts about the cholesterol theory ..the numbers never added up..... but modern medicine has so much dogma these days people actlike youre crazy when you question anything

I follow the diet of a 90 yr old man with a 35yr old girlfriend. He eats fish, fruits, veggies and lots of pepper. He has all his teeth and his dikk gets hard without viagara his girl says. Plus he never used meds. Living proof>

I agree with most of the stuff, except eating a lot of animal fat alone. If you are going to eat animal fat, you should have some type vegetable fat to keep the saturated fat being processed efficiently. My theory is that saturated fat, monounsaturated fat, and polyunsaturated fat, all work together, and when you have too much of one without the other in a good ratio, problems occur. Also, you need foods that are able to process these fats. If you eat meat, the meat will have some nutrients to help process the saturated fat, but if you don't eat nuts or seeds of which these fats are high in(mono/poly), these fats won't process well, and hence the health problems.

Also, when you don't eat proper carbohydrates, you will easily feel the effects of sugar being that your body isn't used to dealing with it. This is why people who workout all day, but don't eat much carbs, get fat fast when they eat just a little more then usual.

I wonder why that article didn't touch on the fact that oxidized cholesterol also causes problems due to hardening of the arties when cholesterol attaches to the wall, and oxidizes. This another reason why vegetable oils are important. They keep the cholesterol from oxidizing due to being high in anti-oxidants than animal fats, and they keep the saturated fat, and cholesterol more liquid then they usually are. This allows less chance of blocking the heart arteries, and causing a heart attack.

All of this means nothing if you aren't active in some sort of way. Or if you eat a lot of food. I notice old people don't eat as much as we do(throughout the day), and can be why they don't have a lot of the issues younger people have.

Its funny you say this......cause I've it mentioned a few times that people have eaten fattened foods "forever"............fried, broiled pig and cow, cake/sweet goods, etc..........but it wasn't until the last 30 years or so that you see this rise in heart disease and so forth.......... what you seem to be saying is that its the "EXTRA" stuff in the food thats contributing to this situation...

It's the rise in sugar, and highly processed carbs that is the real problem, not really fats. They play a part, but people don't eat as much fat as they eat sugar, and processed carbs.

I really feel sugar is the real problem. Excess sugar is in EVERYTHING. Sugar is what gets your bodies system going. This isn't bad when you have other things along with the sugar, they strengthen your body. Most of the food people eat, is just sugars with other bullshyt. Overtime you are breaking your body down, instead of building it up.

People eat so much sugar that when they eat foods that are naturally sweet like fruit, the fruit isn't sweet enough, and taste bland to them. Have you ever seen how an old person(80's&up) eats sweets. They eat very little of it. I remember my grandmother giving me ice cream, and it was only two small scoops. I was looking at her like what the hell is this!. Gimme some mo.

I don't understand the medical jargon being used. I don't know what polyunsaturated or polysaturated or monosaturated is. And by animal fat what does he mean? Like steak fat?

2020 is around the corner.

And without surprise, we found out the government, pharmaceutical industry, medical industry, corporations and big sugar were lying the whole time.

Heart disease is primarily caused by refined sugar (Surcoe and High-fructose corn syrup), refined carbs (If your Insulin isn't working), Trans fat (Which they promoted after the falsified heart hypothesis) and other pathogens in the blood stream. The cholesterol found at the site of the heart attack is the healer, but constant intake of these substances caused damage to the arterial wall and the cholesterol tries to heal the constant chronic damage. Eventually the cholesterol buildup(The healer) blocks the bloodflow and a heart disease occurs. And doctors examine an individual of heart disease/attack, see the cholesterol and blame it. Nonsensical

We are entering a new decade. The heart hypothesis needs to die, neither cholesterol nor saturated fat cause heart diease; sugar does.

Cholesterol and saturated fat is KEY to optimal health and longevity.

You were born in a ketogenic state, the heart is a fatty organ and most of your cholesterol is found in your brain, yet the medical elite told you to avoid how you were designed

2020 is around the corners fella, cut out or reduce sugar as much as possible and increase fat and cholesterol as much as possible.

I’ll make a full thread on it,

Meats, Eggs, Raw Dairy, Fish, are the answer to health, the more the merrier

 

[ShenJingPoQi]

Ancel Key was criminally wrong, he has destroyed the health of millions. While John Yudkin was right on the money, sugar = heart disease

 

[ShenJingPoQi]

Fatty acids are the heart's main source of fuel
Brain is the most cholesterol-rich organ, it contains about 20% of the whole body's cholesterol.
Breast babies are in a ketogenic state

Man. Talk about pulling wool over the sheep's eyes. The scientific, medical and pharmaceutical conned the whole world with their science.
