Bill Clinton explains it best about Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. Dr. Esselstyn, a leading heart surgeon reduces heart attacks by teaching his patients not to consume oil ( adding more vegetables to their diets) . His stand on oil is related to LDL cholesterol which is very hard to monitor without a doctor . In summary, your LDL cholesterol inflames your artery walls which causes your white blood cells to try to combat the LDL cholesterol ( white cells growing larger now called foam cells) . As foam cells continue to fill up the artery wall ( Growing larger gobbling up the oxidative LDL particals) , the artery wall bursts in itself causing a blood clot. When this happens, this causes a heart attack ( your blood platelets trying to fix the injury) . Almost all heart attacks are fatal and show no symptoms before they happen . His studies have also led to the same reactions in your brain which we know it as Alzheimers disease. Small little blood clots blocking arteries to brain, but the brain has many blood pathways. Over time, small blood clots causes our memory loss. Dr Esselstyns biggest complaint is that his hospital is one of the top in the country for curing heart attacks however they have a McDonalds on the bottom floor of his office. Irony at its best.
