Unlike the more placid man, the go-getter uses too much of his body's heparin to break up the fat. There is not enough heparin (nature's anticoagulant) left to keep the red blood cells apart: "If, after every meal, a man has too many fat particles going around and red cells sludging and obstructing small blood vessels, the heart may be temporarily so embarrassed that this man will have a heart attack without a clot...
