| 0:00.0 | You want to eat this every single day if you want to clean out the arteries and prevent plaque from building up. |
| 0:05.5 | And even if you have plaque, what I'm going to share with you will actually help not just minimize the plaque, but reverse the plaque. |
| 0:13.0 | I just need to clear up the biggest confusion that people have with heart attacks. |
| 0:16.4 | That heart attack is caused by the artery filling up with plaque, that is absolutely not what |
| 0:22.9 | happens. What typically happens is you have a small amount of plaque, but it's a certain type of plaque |
| 0:29.8 | because there's two types of plaque. There's hard plaque, which has been calcified, it's more stable, |

| 1:08.0 | and they get a lot of side effects, |
| 1:10.2 | but the statin never gets rid of the root cause. |
| 1:13.7 | So let's first talk about this entire chain of events that occurs. Over here, you have something |
| 1:19.3 | called downstream. This is when you get the plaque building up. This is when you get the symptoms, |
| 1:24.5 | and this is where you eventually have the heart attack and you might die. Well, this problem has been brewing in the oven for 10 to 20 to 30 or more years. |
