Episode notes
Plaque Composition and Removal
- Artery plaque primarily comprises cholesterol, not necessarily caused by it but present within.
- Burning fats is crucial for plaque removal, requiring the body to utilize fats as an energy source.
Microplastics and Plaque
- Microplastics, unlike cholesterol, cannot be metabolized for energy by the body.
- Accumulating in arteries, microplastics hinder plaque removal, contributing to more persistent blockages.

- Their presence also correlates with unhealthy lifestyles, exacerbating risks.
