ABC,
I'm concerned about the extreme expense of medication and the nutritional antagonism of medication. For example, according to the FDA statins cause undeniable damage to the heart by causing a coenzymeq10 deficiency. Don't you think antioxidat rich diet with antioxidant supplements and aviding foods like tranfats would prevent all heart disease (of the artery cloggibg type)? Here's my rationalization that I've been working on for over two years.
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.
