The Great Cholesterol Myth, Revised and Expanded

Why Lowering Your Cholesterol Won't Prevent Heart Disease - and the Statin-Free Plan That Will

By: Jonny Bowden PhD CNS, Stephen T. Sinatra MD, Michael R. Eades MD - foreword, Mary Dan Eades MD - foreword

Narrated by: Roger Wayne

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.

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.

Simple Eye Opening

Very informative, doesn't over-explain, and gives clear advice on what to do and what not to do; all in an evidenced-based package. Highly recommended to anyone, healthcare professional or not, to improve their heart health.

Fantastic Original & New Content, Wonderful Wpdate

Read the original years ago. Loved it / lived by it. Really enjoyed the updated version. I let everyone I know they should “read” this wonderful book!! Now I need to find out how to find a local Dr like these Dr’s. Most still believe in the old BS Cholesterol tests. Ugh.

Worse than I thought

I practice Functional Medicine and Clinical Psychopharmacology. I see bad medicine daily BUT it’s criminal

Information not found elsewhere

I liked the important info was repeated throughout the book. Dislike: a bit too deep at times for me to follow.

About so much more than just cholesterol

everyone who is mindful of heart health and overall health & wellness should read this book

Listen Before You Agree to Statins!

Roger Wayne narrator does a superb job of keeping such a medically heavy book super interesting! I’ve listened to several chapters three times just to absorb!

Take your heart health seriously & Read this Now!

Love this book. I have struggled with heart disease for over 15 years. This book will give you an understanding and hope to overcome this disease. Highly recommend it.

Great book

This helped me on my journey into the carnivore diet. You need to check this out !
