- Interesting that you should feel a need to point that out. ..

'.. a high level of total cholesterol and a low level of high
density lipoprotein cholesterol are important risk factors
for erectile dysfunction. '

'Researchers have established that though erections can be
inspired by everything under the sun, ultimately they depend
on blood flow. And, just as blockages in the arteries to the
heart can cause a heart attack and choked-off blood to the
brain can lead to a stroke, when the arteries to the genitals
are clogged, that part of the body will not work so well either.
When the arteries are impeded only slightly, it takes longer
to get an erection. As the obstruction worsens, complete
impotence occurs. By age 60, this affects one in four
American men.

The bad news is that artery blockages, a major cause of
erectile dysfunction, are strongly linked to one of America's
most popular food categories-meat. The good news is that
such blockages can be prevented, and even reversed, by
changes in diet and lifestyle.

Breakthrough research by Dean Ornish, M.D., at the
University of California-San Francisco showed that a
combination of a low-fat vegetarian diet, moderate exercise,
stress management, and no smoking lets the arteries begin to
clean themselves out in 82 percent of patients. Many of the
other factors contributing to impotence, including diabetes,
obesity, and hypertension, can also be influenced by a menu
change. Side effects from various medications are another
root cause of impotence. In fact, two of the worst culprits are
blood pressure pills and cholesterol-lowering drugs, both
prescribed for conditions that could be dramatically improved
by a vegetarian diet. With the right food and exercise, many
men can cut back on, and even discontinue, drug therapy.
