According to Dr. Dwight Lundell, a retired heart surgeon, the primary causes of chronic inflammation and subsequent heart disease are the low-fat diets recommended by mainstream medicine, specifically the overconsumption of processed carbohydrates (sugar, flour) and omega-6 vegetable oils (soybean, corn, sunflower oil).
He argues that these dietary components create a repeated injury to the blood vessel walls, which triggers the body’s inflammatory response. Key factors he identifies include:
Refined Carbohydrates and Sugar: These cause spikes in blood glucose, leading to sugar molecules attaching to proteins and injuring blood vessel walls, effectively acting like "sandpaper."
Omega-6 Vegetable Oils: Lundell claims that an excessive intake of omega-6 fats (common in processed foods) creates a massive imbalance with omega-3 fats, causing cell membranes to produce cytokines that directly drive inflammation.
Processed Foods: The combination of sugar and omega-6 oils in prepared foods creates a "cascade of inflammation" that he views as the true root of heart disease, rather than cholesterol itself.
