Raena Morgan: There are actually studies that show vegetarians have less heart disease than carnivores.
Andreas Moritz: Absolutely. And that’s not necessarily because of the fats. Initially, many years ago, people were told avoid fats like butter.
RM: Saturated fats.
AM: Yes. And they then introduced margarine, which in fact turned out […]
Heart disease and stroke continue to be the leading cause of death in the US, as vascular deterioration and dysfunction result in hypertension and ultimately, an early demise. Elevated blood pressure results in micro-cracks to the delicate endothelial […]

Protein Storage – A Time Bomb!
Obese people have both high concentrations of fats and excessive amounts of protein in the blood. The blood’s tendency towards clotting, considered to be the greatest cause for heart attack or stroke, stems almost exclusively from the saturation of proteins in the blood. (Note that smoking also increases blood protein concentrations, as shown below). Fats, on the other hand, have no blood-clotting ability. In their attempt to avert a heart […]

To illustrate the development of heart disease from virtual non-existence to being the biggest killer disease, I have used statistical trends describing disease development in Germany – a typical, modern industrialized nation.
In the year 1800, meat consumption in Germany was about 13 kg (28 pounds) per person per year. One hundred years later, meat consumption was nearly three times as high, at 38 kg per person per year. By 1979, it had reached 94.2 kg, which […]

Risk Indications of a Heart Attack
Most food-related blood vessel diseases, including heart attacks, stroke, rheumatism, and angina pectoris, are not primarily disorders of sugar and fat metabolism, but diseases resulting from protein storage.

The thickening of the basal membranes of blood vessels and connective tissues caused by the storage of protein affects the very lives of […]
