The great cholesterol myth : why lowering your cholesterol won't prevent heart disease-- and the statin-free plan that will / Jonny Bowden, Stephen Sinatra.
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. Many research results actually stem from pharmaceutical companies intent on supporting the $31-billion-a-year cholesterol-lowering drug industry. Bowden and Sinatra give readers a strategy for effectively preventing, managing, and reversing heart disease, focusing on diet, exercise, supplements, and stress and anger management.
