Summary Traditional heart disease protocols, with their emphasis on lowering cholesterol, have it all wrong. Emerging science is showing that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease. Many research results actually stem from pharmaceutical companies intent on supporting the $31-billion-a-year cholesterol-lowering drug industry. Bowden and Sinatra give readers a strategy for effectively preventing, managing, and reversing heart disease, focusing on diet, exercise, supplements, and stress and anger management.
Contents Why you should be skeptical of cholesterol as an indicator of heart disease -- "Cholesterol is harmless!" -- Inflammation: the true cause of heart disease -- Sugar: the real demon in the diet -- The truth about fat: it's not what you think -- The statin scam -- Help your heart with these supplements -- Stress: the silent killer -- Putting it all together: a simple and easy blueprint for a healthy heart-- and life!
