The Great Cholesterol Myth

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

By: Stephen T. Sinatra, Jonny Bowden

Narrated by: George K. Wilson

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 HCL ratios
• High glycemic level

Bestselling health authors Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., and Stephen Sinatra, M.D. give listeners a four-part strategy based on the latest studies and clinical findings for effectively preventing, managing, and reversing heart disease, focusing on diet, exercise, supplements, and stress and anger management.

Get proven, evidence-based strategies from the experts with The Great Cholesterol Myth.

Critic reviews

"Anyone skeptical of the notion that there is more to heart disease than 'cut your fat, take a statin drug' would be well served by [listening to] this book." (William Davis, M.D.)

must listen to anyone taking statin drugs

open my eyes to truths hidden in plain view. I don't want to give up the story, but statins are not the answer for aliments caused by sugar. if you or someone you love suffer from high cholesterol, triglycerides or LDL, I suggest you listen/read this book as an additional medical reference.

eye opening,

Fantastic ! Made me not afraid of saturated fat, made me more afraid of carbs. Blows apart the conventional wisdom about heart disease and heart health.

Everyone should read/hear this

I recommend this book to everyone, especially people on Statin drugs for high Cholesterol or considering a LCHF diet.

Very interesting read

Life saving and informative.

An easy to understand book that I did not want to stop listening to. Keep a note book and pen near by because you will want to write down some of things you hear. You might want to buy the hard copy to give to your doctor to read.

boring voice, great info

Very interesting info on diets and cholesterol. I just wish someone else was reading it.
