Ah I see your point. I have some time tomorrow (bt 12-18 hrs from now) so will see what I can find specifically regarding this if you'd care to check back here,

Ah I see your point. I have some time tomorrow (bt 12-18 hrs from now) so will see what I can find specifically regarding this if you'd care to check back here, In the meantime here's some science of atherosclerosis - high glycemic index foods - scrap that - glucose and fructose in general is are reactive molecules - they are often drawn as a 6-carbon circle in organic chem but are actually moving in and out of a ionically bonded circle and a linear structure which is very reactive. It is relatively well understood that the 6 carbon carbohydrates are reactive enough to be capable of causing endothelial damage which can set off the inflammatory cascade that leads to atherosclerosis and high LDL levels will further exacerbate the problem. Come to think of it, maybe this answers your question?
