Underlying factors
genetics, age, fitness, life styles (e.g. tobacco, certain drugs, etc), diet.
Direct cause of clogged arteries
The types of animal fat in the food people eat.
The reason:
Human core body temperature: 37 C / 98.6 F![]()
Beef fat
- melts at 40-50 C / 104-122 F
- human arteries (37 C) cannot melt the beef fat
- therefore, beef fat is a solid in human arteries => clogged arteries
Chicken fat
- melts at 23-40 C / 73.4-104 F
- human arteries (37 C) would melt most of the chicken fat
- therefore, chicken fat is mostly a liquid in human arteries => little to no clogged arteries
