It appears higher blood pressure stresses arteries in various places, causing smooth muscle cells to convert to “foam” cells that acquire cholesterol and other bad debris.

Until now, it was believed foam cells were actually macrophages (white blood cells), which normally clean up injured tissue.

This will rewrite a few medical books.

It looks even more important to get your blood pressure down.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Email me to get on either the “Common/Top Issues” (20 - 25% fewer pings) or “Everything” list.

Yet another ‘study’ to file under “inflammation”.

To anyone scratching their heads at my comment, I recommend researching the effects of slow poisoning, e.g.,

https://medicalhealthauthority.com/info/how-can-i-tell-if-i-am-being-slowly-poisoned.html

“Signs and Symptoms of Slow Poisoning
Detecting slow poisoning can be challenging as the symptoms can vary depending on the type of toxin and the individual’s overall health. However, there are some common signs to watch out for:

Fatigue and weakness
Headaches
Nausea and vomiting
Dizziness
Memory problems
Skin rashes
Difficulty breathing
Digestive issues”

I assert in my book that someday following my own conversion to room temperature they will eventually concede that ‘lifestyle disease’ also results in many of those symptoms and add ‘obesity’, ‘Type 2 diabetes’ etc. to the list above.

It is more likely that High blood pressure is CAUSED by buildup. This requires high levels of proof. So HBP causes plaque not vice versa? Talk about turning things on their collective heads.
