Abstract
It is well recognized that coronary artery disease and cancer
are the result of inflammatory changes, which occur within the
tissues of the body - specifically the walls of the coronary arteries
(CAD) and within the specific organ (e.g. breast, colon) tissue in
question [1-3] – and not the blood. Despite this obvious difference
between blood and tissue, medical studies looking at the impact of
diets and drugs have primarily utilized changes in qualitative or
at best semi-quantitative imaging [4-6], weight and blood tests to
monitor presumed changes in heart disease and cancer. However,
changes in heart disease and cancer cannot be measured through
the mere use of blood tests alone, since these blood tests merely tell
us what is happening within the blood and not what is happening
in the tissues of the body proper [7,8] – hence, the persistent
debate about the consequences of different diets or drugs, and the
potential risk for CAD and cancer [9-14] – and the persistent doubt
and confusion by the public and media [15-18]. Frankly, if I hadn’t
spent more than three decades working out some of the details and
limitations in our knowledge and published studies - based upon
what I read in the lay press - I would be just as confused [19-25].
