This Trendy Green Causes Heart Attack and Stroke

It’s been banned.

People who used it were put in jail.

Then they found out it’s a powerful medical plant. It helps with everything from easing pain to improving brain function.

Well almost everything—because a new study in the journal Cell reveals that this plant also drastically increases your risk of stroke and heart attack.

Fortunately, it’s easy to counter this risk by eating a common bean.

Marijuana has two main components: CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). THC is the substance that provides the “high” that recreational marijuana users enjoy.

The recreational use of marijuana is now legal in 18 American states plus Washington DC. It’s legal for medicinal use in 38 states plus DC.

There’s just one problem…

In the last few years, researchers have discovered that THC may be related to heart disease and heart attack.

If this is true, it is alarming as it suggests that something that is actually harmful is now being increasingly legalized and used. The authors of the study in Cell compare it with vaping, which was once seen as a healthy alternative to smoking but has now been found to be unhealthy too.

These scientists analyzed data from the large UK Biobank database to determine why exactly marijuana seems to cause heart disease.

Almost 35,000 Biobank participants smoked marijuana, with almost 11,000 reporting doing so more than once a month. Those 11,000 were more likely than their peers were to suffer a heart attack before age 50. Premature heart attack puts sufferers at risk of heart rhythm problems, heart failure, and premature death.

This study went further than previous ones, though, in its discovery that inflammatory chemicals were much higher in the blood of Biobank participants who smoked marijuana more than once a month.

In the second study, the scientists went back into the laboratory and applied THC to endothelial cells, which are the cells that line our blood vessels.

They discovered that the THC caused a significant amount of inflammation in these cells, which is a hallmark of atherosclerosis.

In another study, they fed mice a high-fat diet and injected some of them with THC levels equivalent to a daily marijuana joint.

The THC-injected mice developed much larger atherosclerosis plaques in their arteries than those who did not receive these injections, showing clearly that THC was a very serious heart disease risk.

The researchers did not leave it there, though. They wanted to see if they could find a substance that could stop this from happening.

The problem is that frequent THC use causes CB1 receptors to become too active. CB1 receptors appear everywhere in the body, including the brain.

Therefore, they were looking for a substance that could prevent this overactivity of CB one receptors, and they found a natural one.

Genistein is a natural ingredient in soyabeans, and through machine learning and studies on mice, they discovered that this chemical could prevent the inflammatory effects of THC in blood vessels without spoiling the high of marijuana in the brain.

This means that you should consume a lot of soy or take genistein as a supplement if you want to use marijuana recreationally or if you need to use it frequently as a natural medicine to treat pain, nausea, or other conditions.

But to actually heal your heart and avoid stroke and heart attack, you must clear out your clogged arteries. The best way to do that is to stop consuming this ONE ingredient you didn’t even know you were consuming…
