Re: debate

 There are as many theories as research grant-giving bodies. AA as the causative factor is one of many, so is (was until recently) dietary cholesterol, microbial injury, excess iron, hyperinsulinemia, hyperthyroidism, genetics, saturated fat, transfats, polyunsaturated fat, chlamydia, stress, animal fat, plant oils, lack of fat, hyperglycemia, wheat (very recently), too much arterial exercize, too litle exercize, etc etc. Some of them explained some of the cases some of the time. Some better than the other. None of them explain all cases all of the time.

Nobody claimed that AA was the ONLY cause of cardiovascular disease from atherosclerosis.  If you check my older posts and you will see that I mentioned various causes including bacterial infection, xanthine oxidase, hypertension, diabetes, etc.  But all of these have one common denominator, which is arterial inflammation.  And what else causes arterial inflammation?  Arachidonic acid from animal fats.
