I am surprised there isn’t more attention to HFpEF. From what I read…it is a growing number of people with this. More than just the increased number of people over the age of 50…even adjusted for the population increase, the number of us is high and getting higher.
Two things I wonder about…but have seen no studies.
First is..we (over age 50) are the first generation to grow up eating industrial oil….that is..”vegetable” oil, corn oil. Sunflowers oil, saffron oil, etc. etc. the generations before us never had such a thing. The other is the saturation of micro plastics in our diet.

Oils were used since ancient times, sesame, olive, sunflower, even some animal fat like rendered lard and tallow is good for us. These oils are good for us and in modest amounts the animal fats. The big problem, as I see it, is the hydrogenation of petrochemicals as in crisco and margerines that gummed up our blood vessels because our bodies cannot digest hydrogenated fats of any kind.
