A vaccination for heart attack and stroke?

Whilst this is indeed relevant to science, it might be better suited to the immunisation thread, especially given that controversial topics tend to quickly dominate the threads in which they are discussed.
is it controversial?
They're looking for volunteers. Can't see it made compulsory.
I'd happily volunteer, but unfortunately, I'm well above the age group they're looking for.
I'd much rather see the topic discussed here, with focus on the scientific aspects, rather than in a place inviting emotions and controversy. just my
Food Myth 4: Heart disease in America is caused by consumption of cholesterol and saturated fat found in animal products such butter, bacon, and lard, and tropical fats such as coconut oil and palm oils.
Truth: No scientifically valid study has ever shown a link between saturated fat consumption and heart disease. A recent meta analysis concluded "that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of Coronary Heart Disease or Coronary Vascular Disease."
Throughout the years that heart disease was on the rise in America (1920-1960), the consumption of animal and tropical fats declined, while the consumption of highly inflammatory hydrogenated and refined vegetable oils increased dramatically. This correlates to the now widely accepted theory that unchecked and chronic inflammation is the underlying, unifying cause of heart disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes and a host of other health issues.
Note that the fat in animal products is not all saturated. About 51% of the fat in a steak is monosaturated (like olive oil). About 45% of the fat is saturated fat, but of that, a third is a type of fat called stearic acid, which has been shown to increase the good HDL cholesterol and leave LDL unchanged. The remaining 4% is polyunsaturated fat which has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol. So in summary, 70% of the fat in a steak or in bacon or lard will improve your levels of HDL and LDL cholesterol.
cool.
Now, are Capilano's Capilano-branded honey more, or just as, effective as Allowie's honey at this?
Manuka's better you say?
Thought we'd make it a trifecta at picking on VC day.
My folks use and recommend garlic pickled in honey. Tastes barely tolerable, but you'd get used to it long before the high blood sugar would kill you.
