Scientific literature and seminars had convince him and his colleagues that heart disease simply resulted from high cholesterol and that the only way to treat it was to prescribe cholesterol-lowering medications and low-fat diets.
Lundell then goes on to state how it was discovered "a few years ago that inflammation in the artery wall is the real cause of heart disease.... The long-established dietary recommendations have created epidemics of obesity and diabetes, the consequences of which dwarf any historical plague in terms of mortality, human suffering and dire economic consequences."
He then says that, even though 25% of the U.S. population takes statin drugs and we have reduced the fat content of our diets, more Americans are dying of heart disease than ever before. Inflammation is what causes cholesterol to accumulate in the walls of blood vessels and cause heart disease and strokes.
Lundell explains that inflammation is your body's natural defense to a foreign invader, such as a bacteria, toxin or virus, and that chronic inflammation occurs when the human body is continuously exposed to injury by toxins or foods that it was never designed to process.
He then makes a shocking statement: "The injury and inflammation in our blood vessels is caused by the low fat diet recommended for years by mainstream medicine." .... http://buzz.naturalnews.com
