My assumption is more that cholesterol, and other substances accumulated in his arteries, leading to the formation of plaques. These plaques can narrow or rupture the arteries. When a plaque ruptures, blood clotting is activated to repair the injury. However, this can lead to the formation of a blood clot which may block blood flow. So if you look at the core of the problem, one is cholesterol and the other one his "bad" blood clotting. But just ignorin cholesterol, not sure about that.
Unfortunately, that has been the assumption we all have been wrongfully taught for decades and has led to the demonization of cholesterol and saturated fat. This is referred to as the lipid heart hypothesis, which is not how arterial plaque forms as it turns out. I would second the suggestion of just viewing Dr. Malcom Kendrick's videos, as well as the videos of cardiologist Aseem Malhotra, cardiac surgeon Philip Ovadia, Dr. Paul Mason, and Prof. Bart Kay.
Great information. Thank you
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed the info!

Have you read his book? Or read the work of Dr. Kendrick? Those would be helpful to get a better understanding of what he’s saying here. 🙏
