The most basic facts about cholesterol, blood pressure, and cancer’s most complex facts.

How does a “free radical” lead to LDLs that lead to hair loss, stroke or heart attack?

It’s fairly common knowledge that free radicals cause cancer. Few people seem to understand this process or how to lock down free radicals. A free radical is a chemistry / physics term describing a molecule that is missing an electron.

These molecules mutate healthy cells and healthy DNA by stealing just one molecule from them before they replicate (electron valences try to balance out naturally).

In the case of Low Density Lipoprotien Cholesterol or LDL Cholesterol, free radicals oxidize the LDLs. The result is plaque that restricts bloodflow in veins, arteries, and even capilaries. These series of blockages can be as harmless as killing circulation to your hair follicles (which is the cause of thinning hair – hair loss) to as serious as blocking blood to a part of your brain (which is the cause of stroke). And depending on which part of the brain this is, oxidation can cause a stroke that causes a severe fall, car accident, or even a heart attack.

This is to say that if your LDL cholesterol never oxidized, they would never clog any arteries, veins, or even capillary blood vessels (the reason your hair falls out).

Cancer is what happens when free radicals mutate healthy dna and create mutated living cells that have the ability to reproduce just like your unmutated healthy cells. Cancer cells compete against non mutated cells (your normal liver, prostate, pancrease, ovaries, lungs, breast tissue, etc) for your life force.
