LA JOLLA, CA — New research from scientists at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology shows how a diet high in fat and cholesterol depletes the ranks
of artery - protecting immune cells, turning them into promoters
of inflammation,
which exacerbate atherosclerotic plaque buildup that occurs in cardiovascular disease.

I think it goes like this: Sat fat does / will lead to thickening

of your
arteries which causes damage,
which research suggests, could lead to

The
inflammation makes cholesterol and other junk to stick to the walls
