Cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease

For many years we have been listening to the advice of leading doctors believed that the main enemy of the cardiovascular system is the cholesterol that clogs blood vessels and leads to chronic heart disease. However, as it turned out, it is not so. After all, why, despite the expensive statin treatment, which reduces the level of cholesterol in the blood, this problem was still not solved? Why diet with low content or absence of saturated fats do not give the desired result?


According to the American heart Association, today 75 million Americans suffer from heart disease, 20 million have diabetes and 57 million with prediabetes. Moreover, these diseases affect an increasing number of people and every year more young. A few years ago, was revealed the true cause of heart disease – inflammation of the artery walls. And it is fundamentally changing approaches to the treatment of chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system. Cholesterol itself does not accumulate in healthy vessels – it's free "runs" for him. But if in this artery, inflammation, it prevents the free passage of cholesterol. In this regard, doctors recommend to abandon diets that have become common in heart problems. It is recommended to refrain from eating processed omega-6 fats, which are used to extend shelf life of products. It would be best to return to the "grandma diet" and abandon all of what we recently scored the heads and stomachs of the doctors and "science".
