In my Cholesterol Podcast on the Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore, I offered the view that atherosclerosis and many other degenerative diseases can be seen as a process of oxidative damage wherein polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) get damaged by toxins, heavy metals, and byproducts of normal metabolism, break into pieces, and then continue to damage other molecules. I suggested thinking of this as breaking a glass on the floor — the glass breaks into shards, and then becomes dangerous. Step on the shards, and your foot will bleed. Likewise, when proteins, DNA, and other important molecules come into contact with “the pieces of broken PUFAs” they get seriously hurt.
