Short YouTube video by Anne Truong MD explaining that certain foods can cause inflammation which leads the immune system to attack endothelial cells (the cells lining blood vessels). Damaged/leaky endothelial cells impair blood flow to organs; the speaker connects this mechanism to reduced penile blood flow and erectile dysfunction.

These are the food that actually cause inflammation. Inflammation is like your body recognizes your normal healthy cells as being abnormal and it starts to fight against it. Your immunity start to fight against your normal cell. Especially the cells that line the blood vessels. Those are called endothelial cells, and those cells are the ones that protect the blood vessels. So that way you get the blood going to the organ. But the endothelial cell, when it being attacked by your immune system, start to leak, so it can't bring in the blood flow to the organ and therefore the organ get less blood flow than normal. And when the penis doesn't get good blood flow from the heart, that's when you get erectile dysfunctional.
