The key is what causes that. There is a snowball effect due to the narrowing of the arteries, the histamine-calcium effect, and the loss of HDL and vitamins as we age and become more sedentary. The de-vitaminization is also due to the poisons in our diet, and excess sugars, and in some alcohol. What needs to be more studied is why certain diets, high in natural PUFA's, vitamin D3, magnesium, vitamin E, bioflavonoids, selenium, and polyphenols combat arterial plaque. It is apparent that HDL is an important counter to plaque formation, but at least some people cannot just minimize plaque through strenuous exercise. It is also apparent through the expeience with homocysteneurics that a high anti-oxidant load can defeat even the most aggressive plaque. Vegetarians perhaps through their increased l-arginine, bioflavonoids and decreased exogenous cholesterol are lower in plaque. Alcoholics and moderate red wine drinkers experience little plaque formation. People who eat copious fruits and vegetables also have little problem with plaque. It is apparent to me that one of the best drugs against heart disease is seafood. Another is food that lacks insecticides, herbicides and hormones, known vitamin killers. It is common to most people that get low heart disease that the live near the sea, in sunny areas, and eat a primitive diet that is high in fiber, sea fish, and home grown, low in poisoned leafy vegetables. They also seem to consume little food, and little sugar. The Inuit used to eat Muktuk, or whale blubber consciously as a health food. If they were asked why they at the blubber, they would reply to early investigators that they had to rder to prosper health wise. Both the young and old would eagerly consume this food. It was not because of the lack of other substances, such as fish, but because of a perceived need. Muktuk is very high in vitamin C and of course Omega-3 and PUFA. EC<:-}
