The Relationship Between Obesity Heart Disease and Diabetes A Comprehensive Study.
Thought I’d be mean today seeing that it is the 13th and all.

The prevalence of obesity and diabetes has reached pandemic proportions. Obesity, particularly in association with high waist circumference and high BMI, is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) and diabetes. Several large studies have shown that marginal (5 lb) to moderate (11 to 22 lb) weight gain in adulthood (age 20 to 50 years) increases the risk of chronic disease and negatively affects CHD risk status. The metabolic syndrome, a clustering of cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors that includes abdominal obesity, is increasing among adults and children and is strongly associated with the development of diabetes and CHD. Recent evidence suggests that elevated liver enzymes, an indicator of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, may comprise an additional component of the metabolic syndrome and may serve as a surrogate marker for type 2 diabetes, particularly if used in conjunction with C-reactive protein.

Since 1996, there has been a patented formula to reverse heart disease naturally, the main ingredient of this formula is vitamin C. Vascular damage from lack of vitamin C has been documented since the days of the limeys and scurvy.
According to the Pauling/Rath theory of heart disease, the diabetes and increased risk of heart attack is due to vitamin C and glucose using the same metabolic pathways to enter the cell. When serum glucose levels are high, the competitively inhibit the passage of vitamin C. This prevents the repair of damage to blood vessels and the resulting plaque formation acts as a protective agent until it overshoots and blocks blood flow.
