so today I’m going to talk about a very

important topic and it has to do with

arteriosclerotic changes or disease

actually starting in young people now

you wouldn’t think heart disease started

this early but there’s some very

interesting data I’ll put all the links

down below that discusses various

changes in the coronary artery and even

the aorta very early on and this data

was acquired from several different

areas one document included the deaths

of young people and traumatic events

observing that the arteries actually had

the start of coronary heart disease

another area was autopsies of 300

soldiers in the Korean War

they found 77% had coronary heart

disease in fact most 20 to 29 year olds

had fatty streaks in their coronary

artery as well as in the aorta which is

a larger blood vessel now this may be

hard to believe but in one paper I found

some very interesting data of fatty

streaks starting when you’re seven years

old I mean that is literally crazy but

the fibrous plaquing usually starts in

your 20s but here’s the catch without

symptoms so the child the young adult

has no clue what’s going on and if you

have no symptoms you’re not going to get

an evaluation you’re not going to get a

test so a lot of data was discovered

after these young people died and then

evaluating an autopsy what’s going on

now how can this be well I found some

additional data I’ll put the link down

below and they’re talking about the risk

factor and the most important risk

factor is the insulin resistance okay

and this comes from consuming too many

carbohydrates so I did some more

research and I found this study the diet

and coronary heart disease study project

in 1967 and this was the percent of

macros back then for children and young

adults 18 percent protein 40 percent fat

and 42 percent carbs so at the time base

assume that it was the fat that was

causing it but we know now it’s the

carbs the percentage of carbs for a

young adult should be 5% not 42 now even

the American Heart Association is

mentioning sugar and the reduction of

that in children and young adults they

said that you should consume no more

than six teaspoons so the added sugar

and we’re not even talking about the

sugar that’s in the carbs that they

consume but the added sugar so now this

is a better recommendation if we compare

it to what the child normally consumes

19 teaspoons of sugar on average but

this figure should really be zero

teaspoons of sugar I mean if you think

about what is an average blood sugar

that’s 82 what does that mean it means

the total amount of sugar in your blood

which is a lot of blood should be no

more than one level teaspoon okay that

gives you a blood sugar of 82 so

anything more than that is gonna be

quickly removed from the blood and

stored either as fat or cholesterol and

so insulin is actually working really

really hard depending on what’s

happening in the blood with sugar so

it’s very obvious to anyone seeing this

data this connection of why a young

person might have the beginnings of

heart disease so early because we could

just consuming too many carbs and those

carbs create several mechanisms that

destroy the inside of the vascular

system so if you’re new to my channel I

put an intro video up right here check
