The best-selling 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 number-one 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.

Life Changing and Perception Altering Book.

It was not just about statin drugs or cholesterol, the chapters were broken down perfectly and it was engaging, entertaining and most importantly informational. It will make you questions your lifestyle and diet choices, the information you have been given about these choices. Forces you to educate yourself about your conditions, treatments available, tests to take, diet and supplement recommendations and challenging your doctor's rigid and preconceived notions, that don't allow them to think outside of the box and may allow them to dismiss your concerns or your education on your ailments and options. It gives insight into misleading studies and the big business of Big Pharma and other actors in the medical industry. This is a book you should read, all your friends and family should read, it will pertain to everyone in some capacity and make you a more informed patient/consumer. I will buy the book, but the audible version was fantastic. Cannot recommend this book enough.

A must read/listen if you’re concerned about your health!

This book reveals the important role cholesterol has on our health, and debunks the rhetoric. I feel so much better knowing what I’ve learned.

My review would not be complete if I didn’t express my great appreciation for the humorous tone of the book, AND the person who read it should win an Oscar! Great, engaging, and thoroughly enjoyable performance.

Great ability to connect the dots

Every adult should be exposed to this information . Great compilation of facts , meta analysis , of innumerable studies , presented in a logical , concise presentation.

Excellent!

I took so many notes from this book and have incorporated them into my daily regimen. I feel so much better! One of the best books I’ve ever read/listened too for my health!

My eyes have been opened.

The persistent lies of the mainstream medical complex insists on keeping people sick. We need to take responsibility for our own health, ignore the lies, eat healthy, excercise and jump off the pharmaceutical bandwagon for chronic diseases. The book was enlightening and revealing.

An important book

This book, along with The Obesity Code, are important books for people looking to protect their heart and their overall health.

I wish I had read this book 40 years ago.

Essential book, I would love to have my kids read it to prevent issues as they age.

Excellent research

Well told information on western medicine insanity!! Healthy hearty sensible approach to diet lifestyle and reality!!

very informative

Well read and packed with useful information for anyone interested in maintaining good health. I am not surpised at how little most MDs know as the are educated and owned by Big Pharma and Big Food.

Be your own health advocate and find an integrative doctor who is up to speed abd an independent critical thinker.

As a Cardiac ICU RN, this makes sense.

As a Cardiac ICU RN, I really appreciated this book. Almost all of my patients who come in for heart attacks have normal cholesterol but are either diabetic or prediabetic. I will be educating my patients and coworkers on the recommendations from this book to hopefully create some level of awareness in the conventional medical field.
