Animal protein and endothelial damage
A family member of mine recently entirely gave up meat and animal products after getting tested and found to have 50% blockage in artery (IIRC).

When I questioned her about the wisdom of this, she told me it’s not the saturated fat alone she is avoiding, it’s that research has shown that the amino acids in animal proteins damage endothelial cells.

When she told me this I was a bit taken aback because I hadn’t heard that specifically before. Google led me to this A Plant-Based Diet, Atherogenesis, and Coronary Artery Disease Prevention
