Green Foods Protect Against The Acids That Cause Heart Dis-ease

Researchers have discovered a possible reason why green vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower are good for the heart.

The Imperial College London team hope their work could lead to new dietary treatments to prevent heart problems.

Details appear in Arteriosclerosis Thrombosis and Vascular Biology.

"Heart disease is caused by the build up of metabolic and dietary acid that is bound to fat leading to fatty plaques in the arteries known as atherosclerosis," states Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living Center in San Diego, California.

"However, arteries do not get clogged up with these acidic fatty plaques in a uniform way."

"Bends and branches of blood vessels - where blood flow is disrupted and can be sluggish due to excess acidic waste - are much more prone to the build-up," according to Dr. Young. Read more...
