Abstract
It is well recognized that coronary artery disease and cancer are the result of inflammatory changes, which occur within the tissues of the body-specifically the walls of the coronary arteries..
Highlights
It is well recognized that coronary artery disease and cancer are the result of inflammatory changes, which occur within the tissues of the body- the walls of the coronary arteries (CAD) and within the specific organ tissue in question [1,2,3] and not the blood
Despite this obvious difference between blood and tissue, medical studies looking at the impact of diets and drugs have primarily utilized changes in qualitative or at best semi-quantitative imaging [4,5,6], weight and blood tests to monitor presumed changes in heart disease and cancer
Changes in heart disease and cancer cannot be measured through the mere use of blood tests alone, since these blood tests merely tell us what is happening within the blood and not what is happening in the tissues of the body proper [7,8]
Summary
It is well recognized that coronary artery disease and cancer are the result of inflammatory changes, which occur within the tissues of the body- the walls of the coronary arteries (CAD) and within the specific organ (e.g. breast, colon) tissue in question [1,2,3] and not the blood Despite this obvious difference between blood and tissue, medical studies looking at the impact of diets and drugs have primarily utilized changes in qualitative or at best semi-quantitative imaging [4,5,6], weight and blood tests to monitor presumed changes in heart disease and cancer. The more fundamental question is why did this inflammation occur and was the LowCarb diet, which he reported following, the cause of that inflammation or was it merely a coincidence?
