I would be cautious with the 'genetic' theory. It's largely being pushed these days to absolve pharmaceutical companies and FDA policy of poor judgement. Of course your genetic makeup is significant part of your life and well being. Genetics loads the gun and the person pulls the trigger. My parents went on the 'health craze' that began in the 1990s until more recently. Low cholesterol, low fat, and complex carbohydrates. My father was diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a recent EKG is showing problems with his heart. I fear they are going to find a severe blockage and he's only 55. Your blockages are a result of plaque buildup obviously. Though the plaque buildup is due to inflammation and damage. After a good 15 years of study, I've largely deemed that inflammation to be due to three most likely candidates. 1: Prescription drug use (largely stemming from Statins) that cause arterial damage long term. Research on cognition has shown that it has the potential to reduce your IQ by about 13 point or a standard deviation. Which makes sense because Statins interfere with HDL/LDL that carry lipids to be used for energy in your brain and other areas of your body. 2. Glycosylated cholesterol units in the blood stream. Cholesterol doesn't function as intended when it is overwhelmed by a massive amount of glucose in the bloodstream. 3. Pesticides likes glyphosate or DDT found in agricultural products that have the potential to enflame and damage your body.
