But I think if you look around our population today, which you were hinting at, it's pretty sad. Many of us are obese and many of us are on a continuum of insulin resistance. And when you start to develop insulin resistance, and I'll talk about how this is probably related to seed oils in a moment. When you develop insulin resistance, I think this is what's impairing your immune system.

We know that diabetics, full-blown insulin resistance, have a lot of trouble regulating their immune system. They can get a cut on their toe and they can lose their foot, right? Because they have such... poor immune function. So as you move along this continuum of insulin resistance, the immune system suffers.

And this is shown over and over and over, that insulin resistance impairs immune function. So I believe what's going on here is that in a diabetic, in any human that is on this pathway of insulin resistance, which we know is related to our processed foods and our lifestyle, you have impairment of the immune system in the arterial wall.

So when you cut your knee, say you're surfing and you hit a reef or you're skateboarding or you're dancing or whatever, you're playing baseball and you skin your knee, your immune system goes there to repair the knee. Well, all of us are getting, quote, skinned knees on the inside of our arteries because all of us have higher pressure in our arteries.

But diabetics, anyone on this insulin-resistant spectrum or continuum is going to have trouble repairing the endothelial damage that happens from daily life. And that I think is what's going on for diabetics that is causing atherosclerosis. All of us get damaged to the arteries. Most of us can repair it. Just like we, you know, I was playing a pickleball in Phoenix recently.

I was there to surf a wave pool and I ran into a wall, right? I was going off the court because I stink at pickleball. And I ran into a cement wall that was there. And I had a little strawberry on my knee. I had a little skinning on my knee. My immune system repairs it. But when you have insulin resistance, it doesn't get repaired in time. And I think that is where the atherosclerosis starts.

Diabetics have continuous damage without functional, actual true repair on the inside of their arteries. And that I think is what's going on that no one's talking about. So the problem is not LDL. We should pay attention to it. If you're diabetic, okay, pay attention to it. But the problem is not the LDL.
