SAMA HOOLE: Arterial plaque is caused by chronic inflammation and oxidative damage from seed oils, sugar, and insulin resistance. The Maasai drink blood and milk (extremely high fat) and have the cleanest arteries ever documented in medical literature.

"Eating fat clogs your arteries!" Fat doesn't flow through your bloodstream like engine oil through pipes. Your arteries aren't drainage systems that get blocked by dietary fat. Arterial plaque is caused by chronic inflammation and oxidative damage from seed oils, sugar, and insulin resistance. The Inuit ate 80% fat for thousands of years and had zero cardiovascular disease until Western contact introduced flour and sugar. The Maasai drink blood and milk (extremely high fat) and have the cleanest arteries ever documented in medical literature. But sure, the steak you ate last night is somehow sitting in your artery like a traffic jam. Meanwhile the "heart-healthy" canola oil is oxidising in your cell membranes and causing the actual inflammation that damages arterial walls. Your body has been processing dietary fat for 2.5 million years without issue.

It hasn't suddenly forgotten how pipes work.
