The Truth About Cholesterol

Very clear and sensible advice as usual from Dr Cabot. She gives a simple, easy to understand explanation of a rather complex process, and explains why cholesterol is actually a necessary component of a healthy, fit body. Having read the book, I now have confidence in being in control of my own requirements, and have already made a number of changes towards a healthier lifestyle.

An Eye Opener

This book was recommended to me by a holistic medical professional aboard a cruise ship who happened to be from Australia. The book goes into great detail about the myths that we have been led to believe (and which perpetuate due the huge money that cholesterol medications generate) and the risks of taking these medicines, so that one can make an educated decision. They also point other factors that are equally, if not even more indicative of possible future heart trouble which you might not even hear about from your doctor, they're so fixated on cholesterol! They conclude the book with common sense nutritional guidelines and recipes. A very informative read!
