? Big Mac Attack: High fat food intake is thought to destabilize already existing plaques in coronary vessels. At a Harvard review in past it was claimed that a study looking at individuals who recently ate a Big Mac actually had increased heart attacks soon afterwards. This may be apocryphal! However there is evidence that high lipids in the blood can destabilize an existing plaque in a coronary vessel.

No such thing: Food choices actually have far less effect on overall health than just eating moderately and staying fit. Stop worrying about some food causing you to get a heart attack right after you eat it. That's silly. This kind of scare stuff is made up by militant who have no reason to tell the truth.
