With such low cholesterol in vegetables and
the fact that most East Indians are
vegetarians, coronary heart disease must be
unheard of there.

True?

A.L.
 
Does a diet low in cholesterol prevent heart
disease?


From:
http://web.mid-day.com/news/otherheadlines/2003/march/47226.htm

We get:
==================== Start Quote
==============================
* By 2020, India will have the largest
cardiovascular disease burden.

* Over 45 million patients suffer from
coronary artery disease in India and
one-fifth die due to heart disease.

* Many young Indians are falling prey to
coronary artery disease. With millions hooked
to a roller-coaster lifestyle, the future
looks even grimmer.

* This is despite the fact that nearly half
of Indians them are lifelong vegetarians.

* Over 30,000 angioplasties were performed in
India last year across 130 centres of which
Mumbai accounted for 6,500-7,000 surgeries."
==================== End Quote
==============================

"* This is despite the fact that nearly half
of Indians them are lifelong vegetarians. "

This is a shame. If a diet low in cholesterol
reduced "serum" cholesterol and thereby
reduced coronary heart disease (CHD or CAD),
the Indians would be first to know!

The first Indian I ever met (34 years ago)
had just finished his Phd. in Animal Science.
He told me, to my own disbelief at that time,
that a vegetarian diet is incomplete because
it is lacking certain proteins available only
in animals.

An unfortunate fact is that all people alive
today will have had a string of successful
hunters in their ancestry.
