For example how does anyone on this forum know what caused the blockage? maybe it was a combination of all of the factors, maybe it was pesticides in the vegetables he eats? maybe it was trauma caused a few years back when he almost chocked to death on a pretzel he was eating? I don't know and nether does the OP or you!
All of life itself is a contributing factor for heart disease. Does that mean we should stop thinking about the most obvious common cause of heart disease? The most obvious common cause is DIET, just as the OP has suggested.

I've read several books written by medical doctors/cardiologists and none of them have tried to make it as complicated as you seem to want to do. I think the point of trying to make it sound too complicated is to shut down all discussion of trying to do anything about it, like changing one's diet, exercising and controling stress. Those 3 are the main culprits and if the OP didn't mention all of them it doesn't mean that he doesn't acknowledge them as being important.
