carbohydrates are a form of energy that does not stick to the walls of your arteries. proteins do not either. the third and last energy source, Fats (lipides) can stick to your arteries, causing clots, that eventually shoot into the heart or the brain and can cause severe damage. eating a lot of carbohydrates will mean you need less fat to get the enrgy you need, thus reduces the risk that fat will build up in your arteries

16 million people in the US have coronary heart disease . More than 500,000 people in the US die from coronary heart disease each year. In Britain it it responsible for 1 in 4 deaths. More than half a million WOMEN die of cardiovascular diseases each year, there are about 60,000 deaths from breast cancer annually, compared to 500,000 deaths from cardiovascular disease. About 2,400 to 2,600 people die every day of cardiovascular disease. These are just some of the figures I found.
