Huge Mistake! – Without inflammation, cholesterol won't accumulate in blood vessel walls and cause heart disease 

We physicians with all our training, knowledge and authority often acquire a rather large ego that  tends to make it difficult to admit we are wrong. So, here it is. I freely  admit to being wrong.. As a heart surgeon with 25 years experience, having  performed over 5,000 open-heart surgeries, today is my day to right the wrong  with medical and scientific fact.  

I trained for many years with other  prominent physicians labelled “opinion makers.” Bombarded with scientific  literature, continually attending education seminars, we opinion makers  insisted heart disease resulted from the simple fact of elevated blood  cholesterol.
