The cause of Heart disease is still being debated. Much evidence points to it being caused by an infection and artery plaques are the bodies attempts to repair itself.

Far from being harmful saturated fats have anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties that help to protect the body from infection and also are have anti-oxidant properties to resist free radical damage.

Along the lines that you are what you eat, those with a diet rich in saturated fats have strong, healthy arteries that resist damage. Those who have diets with too much polyunsaturated fats have weaker arteries that are susceptable to free radical damage and infection.
