The Cause of Heart Disease
Those with cardiovascular disease not identified with diabetes...are simply undiagnosed.

Heart Disease Connection to “Processed Food Disease” ( aka Type 2 Diabetes )
Ivor Cummins
Three main punches that cause insulin resistance:
- Too many carbs (glucose).
- Too much fructose (table sugar, soft drinks, etc.).
- Any combination of genetics, poor sleep, low vit D, sedentary behavior, low omega 3, high omega 6 seed oils, smoking.

Primary Root Causes
- excess fructose
- excess carb
- low omega 3
- high omega 6
- sun exposure and vit D
- sub-optimal K2, C, Mg
- genetic
- lack of sleep and exercise
- smoking
- pollutants
- other more rare factors
The Power of the CAC Score
The CAC (Coronary Artery Calcium) is a high speed xray that freezes the heart like a strobe, so that you can see the calcium. With the Framingham score you are some questions which is combined with a few markers, then a doctor has to guess. It doesn’t work! Calcium actually sees the disease. The Framingham score would NEVER be used in engineering.
The Cause of Heart Disease - Dr. Rhonda Patrick
The cause of Heart Disease as explained by Dr. Rhonda Patrick:
- We do not get enough short chain fatty acids (fruits, veggie, barley, and oats) and we get too much sugar. This causes not enough mucin being produced by your gut bacteria ( mucin acts like a wall separating good bacteria from immune cells ).
- The lack of a gut barrier (wall) causes a war between the immune cells and the good gut bacteria.
- As this war occurs, something called endotoxin is released.
- Endotoxin swims around in the bloodstream, but if it does so for too long, you will die. Our body has a way to avoid this: endotoxin hooks onto LDL (The problem: this is the same place LDL uses to get back to the liver when it recycles the rest of the cholesterol that wasn’t used).
- Because endotoxin has blocked the place LDL uses to get back to the liver, the LDL becomes stuck in the bloodstream.
- The immune cells see these two guys and freak out because endotoxin is bad and cannot be in our bloodstream (or we will die).
- These immune cells try to kill it, but they can’t because it isn’t alive, it’s not bacteria.
- As the immune cells have been fighting off this endotoxin on the LDL, they secrete a bunch of Inflammatory cytokines (basically little army men who kill bad bacteria) which call more guys over to the battle scene - which isn’t even a battle since there isn’t really an enemy.
- This is what’s commonly known as a “plaque” or a foam cell, which is really just a bunch of immune cells stuck to this poor LDL who had some endotoxin leach onto it.
- This becomes stuck in your circulation and leads to what we all know as heart disease.
- SO, saturated fat DOES produce more cholesterol, but “clogged arteries” aren’t the result unless the gut barrier is compromised which is caused by the current standard American diet ( SAD ).
Things to keep in mind:
- LDL IS NOT CHOLESTEROL. It just carries cholesterol and certain vitamins to the cell
- Cholesterol is essential to the cell membranes of all cells
- HDL’s job is to bring the cholesterol away from the cell
