Does Protein Intake Increase The Risk Of Coronary Heart Disease?
I am sixty eight. Had a heart attack with implantation of one stent in the LAD, the widow maker. I am a gym rat and like to ingest whey protein. I was cautioned about cheeze ingestion and eat no cheeze. However I take whey protein two to three times a week. Am I risking a clot in my stent by ingesting whey protein. My remaining heart arteries are clear according to the doc who did the catherization. I eat very healthily and am an exercise freak. Thank you
