When the body breaks down methionine if you don't have enough B12(animal sources) B6 (grains) and Folic acid (spinach) present, it will make homocysteine, which hurts the heart, rather than cysteine which helps the heart. This is why runners can have heart attacks. When the diet has low levels of fatty fish(salmon, mackerel) then the blood pressure can become elevated because the blood vessels don't dilate as well, which makes the heart work harder to pump blood. Diet can have strong effects on health and even circumvent genetic predispositions to some diseases.
