This is fascinating! Well, the subject is fascinating. The video part was very well done, but the speaker’s voice monotone.
I read Doctor Malcolm Kendrick’s book – The Great Cholesterol Con. He showed the cholesterol has nothing to do with atherosclerosis.
Unfortunately, the only cause he suggested was stress. Certainly there must be other causes.
From what I’ve read so far, it seems that sugar and insulin resistance are behind atherosclerosis.
