Atherosclerosis and Diabetese

[DavidKXF]

Hi all this is my first new topic post, although I do check in here regularly.

I came across and interesting comment by Dr Joseph Kraft the other day, that all persons with atherosclerosis are either diabetic or per-diabetic.

"Dr. Kraft has stated that the pathology of atherosclerosis IS the pathology of Diabetes, and vice-versa. He maintains that generally the people with substantial atherosclerotic issues who are not diagnosed with diabetes, are simply not properly diagnosed yet. 'Cholesterol' is simply a passenger in the vascular vehicle".

Can anybody comment on this?

I wonder if Dr. Kraft has read about the Pauling-Rath theory? See http://www.hearttechnology.com/1992-v07n01-p005.pdf
