LESS FAT ALSO MEANS LESS HEART DISEASE AND CANCER
As you already know, fat is intimately linked to both heart disease and cancer. Fat, especially saturated fat, causes an increase in blood cholesterol, which can lead to sticky deposits on artery walls. These deposits can cause blockages that lead to heart attacks and strokes. The sticky buildup (called atherosclerosis) also increases blood pressure, making it more difficult for the heart to pump blood through the blood vessels.
Additionally, dietary fat plays an important role in the development of cancer. You’ve already learned this by the example of several generations of families moving from one country to another and watching their children develop cancers of affluence. As you learned in Chapter 2, the cancers of affluence-cancers of the prostate and pancreas for men; colon/rectum cancer for men and women; and cancers of the breast, ovaries, and uterus for women-strike with greater fury in wealthier countries. Here in America, we eat a richer and fattier diet than do our counterparts in poorer countries. It’s a well-established fact: Cancer and fat are intimately linked. Therefore,, anything that can lower the level of fat in our diets can be a lifesaver.
Chitosan can do just that. Simply by pulling dietary fat out of the body and preventing it from being absorbed into the bloodstream and beyond, Chitosan helps to lower the risk of both heart disease and cancer.
