There are a number of root causes of heart disease (atherosclerosis), but the most common root cause is too many free radicals from eating too few antioxidants, and HDL too low from eating foods that keep HDL low - like trans fats. The most abundant free radical, free radicals of oxygen (ROS), is also the most destructive type of free radical. There's a reason why veins are used in bypass surgery; veins do not suffer plaque buildup because there's little or no oxygen in veins and therefore few or no free radicals of oxygen in veins and therefore no plaque buildup in veins. When veins are used as arteries and eating too few antioxidants continues and eating foods that push HDL down continues, veins used as arteries develop plaque buildup just like arteries.actualcures.com/heart-disease-cholesterol-doesnt-cause-plaque-buildup/
