Some current thinking & theories In considering coronary heart disease, one researcher points out that the real problem is not "atherosclerosis" the thickening of the arteries. For the most part, arteries can safely thicken unless there is a rupture in the artery wall which causes "plaque" an obstruction ; to develop, causing conditions such as angina. When these plaques break loose, a clot can develop. A plaque is not enough you also need the blood clot. It would appear that the usual process leading to death is damage to the artery wall, development of a plaque causing a blockage and development of a clot.60 However, it is also possible for a blood clot to cause death in the absence of any plaque. So what causes the plaques to develop and what causes an increase in the possibility of a blood clot? Some physicians are pointing to "metabolic syndrome" as the culprit. Metabolic syndrome develops because of abnormal cortisol levels, which leads to insulin resistance and a number of metabolic abnormalities such as raised sugar levels, low HDL levels and raised triglycerides. Raised cortisol levels can come about from depression, use of certain drugs steroids, for one ; , and stress. According to one doctor, "It is likely the most common cause of metabolic syndrome is chronic stress ."61 Stress causes cortisol to rise. No wonder cholesterol rises under stress: it is a precursor to the cortisol, its rise an effect, not a cause. Note the irony: how much stress are all of us subjected to by worrying about our cholesterol levels? One study found that metabolic syndrome predicted heart disease independently of the usual risk factors including high LDL cholesterol levels ; . Men with metabolic syndrome had a 76% greater risk of heart attack than those without the syndrome.62 One theory points to the fact that excess levels of the amino acid homocysteine in the blood can help cause LDL low-density lipoproteins ; to adhere to arterial tissue, building up plaques. Deficiencies in vitamins B6, B12 and floic acid can cause this condition.63 Inflammation can also cause blockages and can cause plaques to rupture, thus provoking a heart attack-causing clot. The vitamins that may help to reduce heart disease conclusive proof is said to be lacking ; include vitamins A, D and E all fat-soluble vitamins ; and vitamins C, folicc acid, B6 and B12. Deficiencies of certain minerals may cause heart disease, namely magnesium, selenium, possibly copper and zinc. Other nutrients that might help are coenzyme Q10 and the Omega-3 essential fatty acids. Note that the best sources for many of these nutritional substances are meat and saturated fat. Overconsumption of certain foods might also help cause heart disease: for instance, too much polyunsaturated oil.64 Sugar might also be a culprit, both by increasing adhesiveness of blood platelets making them more prone to clotting ; and by increasing blood corticosteroid a stress hormone ; levels.65 Sugar may further be implicated because consuming it in quantity can help cause insulinresistance; the "carbohydrate theory of arteriosclerosis" notes that an increase in catabolic hormones that cause substances to break down into simpler ones, as opposed to anabolic, which build molecules. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 12-cup fluted tube pan or a 10-inch tube pan. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar and vanilla on medium speed of an electric mixer for 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; add alternately to the butter mixture with the buttermilk, beating well after each addition, until just blended. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake about 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in the pan, then remove and allow to cool completely. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar or glaze with Vanilla Glaze or Butter Rum Glaze, if desired. Garnish with pecans or walnut halves, if desired. To make the glaze: In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Remove from the heat; blend in the confectioners sugar and vanilla. Stir in the hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the glaze is the desired consistency. Spoon onto the cake, allowing some to drip down the sides. Or put the glaze into a plastic bag, snip off a corner and drizzle on the cake and grisactin. Previous gestational diabetes, a population known to be at high risk of multimetabolic syndrome 24 ; . A special cohort of women n 124 ; with previous gestational diabetes were examined 8 years after they delivered mean age at follow-up, 38.1 6.3 years ; . Of these subjects, 78 had diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance, and 38 had hypertension at follow-up; mean waist circumference was 86.9 15.0 cm, mean WHR was 0.81 0.06, and mean BMI was 26.8 6.0 kg m2. We were looking for the relationship of the above-mentioned three anthropometric parameters to current hypertension blood pressure 160 95 mmHg, signs of hypertension on eye fundi, or therapy with antihypertensive medication ; and glucose intolerance therapy with blood glucoselowering medication or an abnormal result of a 75-g OGTT according to the World Health Organization's criteria ; . In multiple linear regression models, all three variables showed statistically significant associations with systolic blood pressure sBP ; [standardized regression coefficient] was 0.323 for waist circumference, 0.375 for WHR, and 0.298 for BMI, with P 0.01, adjusted for age and HbA1c ; . Because fasting blood glucose levels were not available in insulintreated patients, HbA1c was used as a marker of current carbohydrate metabolic status. When similar regression models were applied, only BMI showed a statistically significant relationship with HbA1c BMI 0.279, P 0.02; waist circumference 0.186, P 0.12; and WHR 0.148, P 0.22 ; , adjusted for age and sBP Using the cut points of the three . anthropometric parameters suggested by Okosun et al. 1 ; waist circumference, 80.0 cm; WHR, 0.80; and BMI, 25.0 ; , we found none to have a statistically significant association with diabetes, although BMI seemed to be related to it odds ratio [OR] 2.17 [95% CI 0.96 4.81] ; . However, all three were associated with current hypertension according to the Mantel-Haenszel 2 test adjusted for age and diabetes OR 7.30 [95% CI 2.0328.93] for waist circumference, 3.30 [1.179.43] for WHR, and 6.03 [2.2416.56] for BMI ; . Furthermore, we examined the relationship of prepregnancy BMI ppBMI ; attributed to index pregnancy using the median as the cut point [25.2 kg m2] ; to hypertension excluding those with prepregnancy hypertension ; and diabetes at follow-up. Subjects with ppBMI above, because fopic acid and hpv.
