I saw this while checking my email on Yahoo. This sounds like it could be a major breakthrough in the treatment of heart disease. I'm surprised this isn't a bigger story. If there is something to this, imagine how this could lower health care costs. No more bypass surgeries! I can eat all the Big Macs I want and then go to Krispy Creme for dessert. Sounds too good to be true.

A lot of top docs now believe the problem isn’t with high cholesterol itself - the plaque build-up is caused by inflammation on the artery linings, and the inflammation is from the foods we eat.
#1 culprit being sugar.
Not a doc, never played one on TV, but did have a triple-bypass after years of being a runner. Never had heart issues of any kind, but when they discovered a defective aortic valve and went in to replace it, they said I had blockage and while in there they were replacing 3 arteries. I was shocked.
Because I had a runner’s heart in great shape, I was walking a mile a day one week after open heart surgery; 3 miles a day 2 weeks after, 5 miles a day 3 weeks after surgery. Running again 13 weeks from surgery.

More BS from the drug industry. The Inuit (Eskimos) have a diet almost 100% fat and they have no heart disease. Or cancer. Eliminate sugar, grains and processed foods.

Even coming from Hopkins it might be a bit too early...maybe even *way* too early...to starting eating three meals a day at Krispy Kreme.

Several years ago, I suffered a very nearly fatal heart attack, so I find this article interesting.
Many people take one adult aspirin a day which is also said to prevent a heart attack.
I swallow one every morning now.

The best guarantee against heart disease is a high HDL. As close to 100 as you can get it. Best produced by ingesting enough Omega-3’s.

Sheeze, this just ruined me reading more FR
Gotta run to the store, get a gallon of Jamoca Almond Fudge icecream, a large can of cashews, and a pack of smokes.

What then explains their much lower life expectancy? They live a hard life with polar bears in a frozen wasteland. They do not die from heart disease.

What then explains their much lower life expectancy? Black men in Chicago have a lower life expectancy. It is related to drugs, crime and gangs. Correlation is not causality.
