Heart disease is the #1 killer. However, 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 and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat/high-carb diets and serious, side-effect-causing statin drugs, obscure the real causes of heart disease. Even doctors at leading institutions have been misled for years based on creative reporting of research results from pharmaceutical companies intent on supporting the $31-billion-a-year cholesterol-lowering drug industry.
The Great Cholesterol Myth reveals the real culprits of heart disease, including:
  • Inflammation
  • Fibrinogen
  • Triglycerides
  • Homocysteine
  • Belly fat
  • Triglyceride to HCL ratios
  • High glycemic levels

    • Bestselling health authors Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., and Stephen Sinatra, M.D. give listeners a four-part strategy based on the latest studies and clinical findings for effectively preventing, managing, and reversing heart disease, focusing on diet, exercise, supplements, and stress and anger management.
    Get proven, evidence-based strategies from the experts with The Great Cholesterol Myth.

        Advocating diet, exercise, nutritional supplements, and stress and anger management, Bowden (The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth) and Sinatra (Univ. of Connecticut Sch. of Medicine; Reverse Heart Disease Now) present scientific findings and experiential anecdotes supporting their theory that heart disease is caused by inflammation, fibrinogen, triglycerides, homocysteine, belly fat, triglyceride to HCL ratios, and high glycemic levels, not cholesterol. While close listening is necessary owing to the lack of thought repetition between discs, volume levels are consistent. George K. Wilson's (Tea with Hezbollah) calm, low-pitched voice is a good fit for this title. VERDICT Will be of interest to health-care students and those interested in the relationship between cholesterol and heart disease.--Laurie Selwyn, formerly with Grayson Cty. Law Lib., Sherman, TX
