Cardiovascular disease is the world’s greatest killer - especially of women. A new report published in The Lancet says more than one in three women’s deaths worldwide are from heart disease.

What the report fails to mention however is the extensive evidence that food toxins are now implicated in heart disease.

Actual causes of heart disease?

We are always hearing about the ‘risk factors’ for diseases. Not the causes . . . because medical science still does not know the actual underlying causes. What patients are offered instead are statistically supported probable contributors … ‘risk factors’.

The usual suspects are given in this graphic.

Amongst these ‘risk factors’ - there is only one reference to ‘unhealthy diet’ as a possible source of illness.

Here at foodintol® LoTox - we are curious as to why the very stuff that actually fuels our bodies (food) gets such scant attention. It is especially surprising - given the hundreds of studies now implicating food toxins … (caseins, plant lectins like gluten plus others).

Scientists suspect these as probable causes of clogged arteries, raised blood pressure and increased risk of blood clots.

Reference: Vogel, Birgit, et al. "The Lancet women and cardiovascular disease Commission: reducing the global burden by 2030." The Lancet 397.10292 (2021): 2385-2438.

The medical view of disease is - that it is something to be diagnosed (named) and then treated.

But the medical literature carries a great deal of clinical evidence saying otherwise: that chronic illness can be caused by eating the wrong foods . . . and that disease progress can be halted by avoiding the food toxins.

Imagine being able to reduce your risk of heart disease simply by making better food choices!

2. Another view of cardiovascular disease

Cardiovascular disease is the result of slow poisoning by food toxins. Clinical studies have shown disease stops advancing when food toxins are avoided - as with a low toxin diet. Further - when food toxins are re-introduced symptoms reappear.

Here at the Food Intolerance Institute our two decades of research says if we are serious about reducing heart disease - we should seek out the cause … not settle for ‘risk factors’. That is - along with treatments for temporary symptom relief - we should take heed of the new findings on food toxins. Scientists have linked them causatively to clogged arteries and ensuing cardiovascular conditions.
