Synopsis

The bestselling book on heart disease, updated with the latest research and clinical findings on high-fat/ketogenic diets, sugar, genetics, and other factors.

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 HDL ratios, and high glycemic levels.

Doctors can basically go to hell for telling people to eat fat-free garbage for a generation. For the past 25 years I haven't been able to eat an egg without someone at my table pantomiming a heart attack. Lard was so uncool as to be completely absent in American supermarkets. That all changed when......more

Goodreads review by Mr. Matt on May 26, 2018

As a middle aged man, I went to the doctor a couple of years ago and he read the riot act at me. My LDL was too high. Rather than blindly accept his recommendation to take statins to lower my cholesterol numbers, I decided to research how to improve my health naturally - without medications. This boo......more

Goodreads review by Jessaka on June 15, 2020

What an eye opener I had listened to a doctor on a talk show that was telling people that it was good to eat lard, but I didn’t know exactly who she was and what elsee she had to say. Years ago, I used margarine because I thought that it was good for you, but then I read a book that said that butter w......more

Goodreads review by Bharath on November 15, 2024

There are many new things we are learning which contradict past beliefs about health and medicine. This is an excellent book – while cholesterol is the central subject, it has a lot of vital information on diet & medicine. In risk assessment for heart disease, cholesterol has been regarded as the ma......more
