The #1 Most Dangerous Carb for Your Arteries | Dr. Mandell

Everyone blames sugar for heart disease, but refined flour may be just as disruptive when consumed daily. Ultra processed flour products can rapidly raise blood glucose, stimulate repeated insulin surges, increase triglyceride production, and promote formation of small dense LDL particles that are more prone to oxidation and arterial penetration. Chronic high glycemic load diets are associated with insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, fatty liver, and increased cardiovascular risk. This video explains the physiology behind refined carbohydrates, insulin dynamics, glycation, nitric oxide impairment, and metabolic stress.
