World Renown Heart Surgeon Speaks Out On What Really Causes Heart Disease - Chronic Inflammation from Our Healthy Diets

Dr Dwight Lundell MD has been a heart surgeon for 25 years, performing operations and recommending corporate-funding medicines/diets to unwitting patients.
Now, it seems he's had a cathartic, Road To Damascus, reassessment of his role in life:
World Renown Heart Surgeon Speaks Out On What Really Causes Heart Disease - chronic inflammation from our healthy dietsWhat thoughtful person would willfully expose himself repeatedly to foods or other substances that are known to cause injury to the body? Well, smokers perhaps, but at least they made that choice willfully.
The rest of us have simply followed the recommended mainstream diet that is low in fat and high in polyunsaturated fats and carbohydrates, not knowing we were causing repeated injury to our blood vessels. This repeated injury creates chronic inflammation leading to heart disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity.
Let me repeat that: The injury and inflammation in our blood vessels is caused by the low fat diet recommended for years by mainstream medicine.
What are the biggest culprits of chronic inflammation? Quite simply, they are the overload of simple, highly processed carbohydrates (sugar, flour and all the products made from them) and the excess consumption of omega-6 vegetable oils like soybean, corn and sunflower that are found in many processed foods.

In summary, SUGAR; what an industry.
Sugar that is found most of all in sodas and processed meals is the cause of most caries, cancers, cholesterol stickage and fungal infections.
I'm right, right?
