> Last note on the calcium build up in arteries (off topic a bit), but any build up in the arteries is now known to be a good thing, as it's keeping you alive by repairing a rip/tear in the artery. Even doctors are starting to admit this. It's a bandage, not a blockage.
Do you have a source for this?

(world famous hospital where US presidents go) https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronary-artery-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20350613 https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronary-arte... "Once the inner wall of an artery is damaged, fatty deposits (plaque) made of cholesterol and other cellular waste products tend to accumulate at the site of injury in a process called atherosclerosis. If the surface of the plaque breaks or ruptures, blood cells called platelets will clump at the site to try to repair the artery. This clump can block the artery, leading to a heart attack."
