High total and bad cholesterol (LDL) are both major risk factors for atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries/plaque). This disease can cause slowly enlarging partial blockages in coronary arteries, which can result in angina (chest pain with exertion).

When coronary plaque ruptures suddenly, the resultant blood clot totally blocks the artery, resulting in a heart attack, 20 percent of which are fatal. Atherosclerosis is also the cause of most strokes, peripheral vascular disease (blockages in the arteries in the legs), erectile disfunction and most kidney failure. It is also linked to dementia, including Alzheimer’s.

People who are on a plant-based, unprocessed food diet with no salt, sugar or added oil don’t get atherosclerosis. They have atherosclerosis-proof levels of total cholesterol (< 150) and LDL (<50). However, in people on a Western diet heart attacks are the most common cause of death, and strokes are the main cause of chronic disability.

In a 2018 survey, 61 percent of internal medicine residents reported having little or no training in nutrition.
