According to the theory, it is converted by vitamin B6 into an innocuous byproduct, but if there is a deficiency of B6, homocysteine piles up in the blood and causes atherosclerosis. In the view of the theory's proponents, Americans are vulnerable to heart disease because the protective vitamin, which...
