Publisher's Synopsis
To outsmart high cholesterol many patients choose a low fat diet and prescription medications. I also thought it was the right approach and for years I did not see anything wrong it. Then I witnessed a disturbing trend. The most heart-conscious patients, who were supposed to be protected by low cholesterol, were not any closer to being immune from heart attacks, strokes, or blocked arteries. They could be stuck with the most expensive pills and be on the most unpalatable diets, but that did not matter. They were just as unwell, and in many cases even worse off, than patients who were not that keen on lowering cholesterol. After seeing this worrisome trend I had to re-examine cholesterol lowering practices and share my discoveries with you. If you still think that lower cholesterol is the best prescription for health, low-fat diet prevents heart attacks, and statins are worth their side effects, this book is for you. Enjoy and be(come) well.
