1:53 She says once this layer is damaged. Did she specify why it was damaged? People have been really misled as to how cholesterol actually works. And first off. Cholesterol is cholesterol. Their is no good and bad. LDL means low-density lipo-proteins. no where in that term is cholesterol stated. people get the proteins which only transport the cholesterol mixed up with the actual cholesterol. Look the information up. Their isn’t enough room for me to write how cholesterol really works here.

What the drug companies like this one don’t want you to know is that most people who actually die from heart attacks had high levels of calcium deposits in the arteries. Its the calcium that makes the plaque harder and easier to break and block your arteries.
This video obviously only talks about cholesterol because its in their best interest to sell more cholesterol medicine.
Your body makes cholesterol, its needed, the problem is calcium, if you cut the calcium you cut your death risk

I likes the video up to the point they mentioned remember to take your medicine. According to the New England Journal of medicine, about 50% of heart attack victims have normal cholesterol. Their is no evidence that a blood test showing high cholesterol means it will turn into to plaque. That is primarily your genes. Although many anti statins lower readings, there is no evidence to support they help in plaque prevention. Eating well, omega3’s, vitamin C, low dose aspirin and exercise. Thats it

Outstanding video! Just a few notes: the innermost affected layer of the artery is called the tunica intima (composed of endothelial cells). The hardening of artery walls is caused by the death of smooth muscle cells in the tunica media and the deterioration of elastic fibers (then replaced by scar tissue). This hardening is called *arteriosclerosis.*
