I listed Santana's age in the title because we are the news now. We need to present all of the evidence and let people come to their own conclusions.

I've come to my own conclusion, which is based on my research into Santana's lifestyle and the details of his heart attack scare, based on his own words.

Here's a direct quote from Santana from January 2022 regarding his unscheduled heart surgery-

“When they drew blood to see what was happening, sure enough, we caught it just in time. I think it was 94 percent blockage in one artery. We corrected it, and the other one was 35 percent blocked, another one was 5 percent. Those can be corrected, and will be corrected, with medicine. But the one, they had to go in there with like a cord to keep making things flow. A stent is what it was.”

Normally, reading that a 74 year old man had a 94% blocked artery would not be surprising.

However, it is surprising in this case because Santana is vegan, and even has his own line of vegan shoes-

Dr Kim Williams: exposes the true cause of Heart Disease

This video details the benefits of a vegan lifestyle for reducing heart attack risks for those who are not suffering from adult congenital heart disease.

Dr. Williams is a cardiologist with a genetic defect that caused his cholesterol to go out of control. He was already eating what he considered a healthy diet (chicken, fish, fruits, vegetables, and low grains) when he discovered he had a very high LDL cholesterol level at a conference where a vendor was introducing a new cholesterol test. Williams determined the result were accurate and wanted to do everything in his power to avoid taking statin drugs. He made the switch to a vegan diet in the end, which brought his LDL cholesterol levels from 170 down to 90.

Not trying to turn this into a discussion about diet, other than to point out vegans generally do have lower cholesterol levels and a lower incidence of heart disease.

Make of the above what you will, but it's what prompted me to create the above graphic and put together this post.
