Top 10 Foods that Clog And Unclog Arteries Naturally and Prevent Heart Attack

The number one killer worldwide in economically developed countries is cardiovascular disease.

One of the biggest risk factors for heart disease is diet.

*Eating the wrong foods can clog arteries, increase blood pressure and inflammation, and eventually lead to heart disease.

The good news is the reverse is also true.

Eating the right foods can actually help unclog arteries, lower inflammation, and improve heart health.

In this video, I’m gonna show you the worst foods you might be eating right now that’s clogging your arteries - which increases your risk for a heart attack, ten fold.

With all the fatty foods I grew up eating and still enjoy, I was shocked that my recent calcium heart scan was 0%

Mostly right... better than the normal people who are just... "eat a bunch of fruits and vegetables"

I get what you're trying to say about more and less nutritous food options but labeling foods as "good" and "bad" is a disservice and only propagates disorder relationships with foods. Foods exist on a spectrum of nutrient density. Take the morality out of the food language.

Polyunsaturated fats, which are not partially hydrogenated i.e., trans fats, are also not pro inflammatory. We have stable isotope tracer studies that look at the conversion of omega-6 polyunsaturated fat linoleic acid to arachidonic acid and even fluctuating intake of linoleic acid up sixfold and down 90% does not meaningfully increase or decrease levels of arachidonic acid within the body. Meaning that the regulation of arachidonic acid production is tightly controlled and eating polyunsaturated fats is not going to increase systemic inflammation outside of prolonged hyper caloric states in which weight gain occur. The weight gain is the issue, not the PUFAs. Trans fats are a problem Yes but the FDA removed they're generally recognized as safe status in the mid to late 2010s and trans fats are no longer used in the food supply.

It's honestly hilarious that you claim there's all these issues with consuming omega-6 polyunsaturated fats and then provide no citations for the claims around the health issues. When in fact we can look at large meta-analyses that contain hundreds of thousands and even millions of people which show reduced risk of heart disease reduced risk of type 2 diabetes reduced risk of Cancer death and reduced risk of all cause mortality even. These are corroborated by tissue level biomarker studies such as Marklund et al 2019 which shows that higher tissue level concentrations of linoleic acid leads to lower risk of these various outcomes.

Your citation around fried foods and heart disease is so faulty it's hilarious. Fried foods correlate with greater calorie consumption, greater calorie consumption leads to weight gain, weight gain leads to dyslipidemia, dyslipidemia leads to heart disease. The claim of never eating fried foods is just absurd. I'm not advocating for someone to eat only fried foods or to eat it often but to say NEVER is just absolutist and again not conducive to better overall relationships with foods.

You mention high fructose corn syrup leading to insulin resistance and liver fat yet fail to mention that high consumption of saturated fat foods like butter, ghee, and lard increase liver fat far more than unsaturated fats even when matched for calories.

Your citation about diet soft drinks is also cherry-picked and faulty. When we look at meta-analyzes and randomized controlled trials swapping sugar sweetened beverages with non-nutritive sweetened beverages we generally see weight loss and improvement in lipid levels and blood sugar control. You get to a reverse causality conclusion when you are looking at those who are trying to lose weight and consuming the most amount of diet sodas who naturally have higher levels of body fat and are at higher risk for developing heart disease. Hence why they are trying to reduce their calorie intake and lose weight to reduce their risk by consuming non-coloric sweetened soda. This is exactly the case with the meta-analysis that you showed. People who are overweight tend to consume more sugar sweetened beverages because they are trying to lose weight. The cherry picking of your studies to fit this narrative you have instead of presenting the totality of evidence such as randomized control trials on the subject is very blatant and needs to be improved.

Your claim about spikes and blood sugar leading to diabetes has no citation to it and is again reverse causation. There is nothing wrong with blood sugar increasing as a result of eating food The problem lies when the increase in blood sugar lingers for a lot longer than it should such as 2 hours post a meal which is evident when people have impaired glucose tolerance or have type 2 diabetes.

Highly sugary sweetened kid cereals are indeed an issue but to lump them into the same category as fiber-rich fortified cereals is a false equivocation and is illogical. High fiber cereal grains can LOWER cholesterol and thus heart disease.

Definitely agree about processed meat being an issue. Its a class 1a carcinogen so i definitely suggest avoiding at all costs.

Also agree about alcohol, waste of calories and money. Resveratrol is also not that health promoting.

Definitely suggest doing more research before doing more videos. Include the totality of evidence and dont use absolutists language.
