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.

This is a fantastic book. So much information that we didn't know about cholesterol.
I've bought this book for family and friends so that they can gain important knowledge about their health and to question what their doctor says. I brought mine with me to the doctor's office and he was able to run the tests that are suggested. Found out I was low in B 12 and Folic acid. Now I know what to do to help with my health! Best book ever and should be on everyone's bedside table.
