Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is caused by a narrowing of the coronary arteries that feed the heart. It’s the most common form of heart disease, affecting some 7 million Americans, and it’s also the number-one killer of both men and women. Each year, more than 500,000 Americans die of heart attacks caused by CHD.
The body has a limited number of cells. If one dies, it’s replaced with an exact copy of itself in the exact location. The whole body works like that. What happens in cancer is that the cells start to grow uncontrollably, which, by itself, is not bad. The problem is that in addition to growing, they do a number of harmful things: release toxins, disrupt the normal functioning of whatever tissues or organs they happen to be in, and consume a lot of energy.
