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.

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.

must listen to anyone taking statin drugs

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.

Life saving and informative.

I liked this book a lot more than I thought I would. I appreciate the authors holistic view on heart-health versus only focusing on diet. I eat a completely plant based diet, so many of the authors stated reasons for eating animals I obviously don’t agree with. One example would be their recommendation to eat omega 3 fatty acids from wild caught fish. These can also easily be found in plants like chia seeds, leafy greens and flax seeds instead of eating wild caught fish which they never mention in this book.

There is a lot of confusion about what causes heart disease. This books says refined sugar, stress and not fat while many studies and other books point to fat. Eating a whole food plant based diet alleviates the need to worry about these factors(except stress) because this way of eating naturally includes minimum-to-moderate amounts of both fat and refined sugar.

The last thing I’ll say is that I appreciate the authors clarity on what carbs are bad for us instead of demonizing all carbs as some people tend to do. They make it clear that fruit, beans, vegetables etc should be a large part of your diet (especially vegetables) and to stay clear of processed foods and refined sugar.

What did you like best about this story?

It made me angry at the FDA, the government and food companies, not to mention doctors and big pharma. We have been hoodwinked for so long, follow the money. This book made me so mad that I started listening to all kinds of nutrition books to educate myself and within 9 months I lost 56 lbs and feel 15 years younger. I ditched the bp and cholesterol meds with approval of my doctor and all my aches and pains disappeared. I ended up following bits and pieces of many lifestyle diets but mainly followed Wheat Belly, Atkins and The Perfect Health Diet. I am now whole fat, somewhat low carb but my carbs come mainly from root vegetables, potatoes, wild rice and NOT bread, processed foods or flour products. I even gave up coffee and switched to tea once or twice a day. I added yoga classes twice a week about 2 months into my lifestyle change and now I am slimmer and healthier and have a lot more energy. This book was the beginning to my road to a healthier body and a better lifestyle diet. I am 56 years old and proved to myself that my age and menopause are not to blame for being overweight and feeling overall crappy, it was my food choices and believe it or not, I was not a big junk eater but I did eat a lot of whole grains, whole wheats, oatmeal and so called healthier cereals, ha ha, what a mistake that was. My weight went from 202 to 146 in 9 months and I can do shoulder stands in yoga, now that is a big accomplishment for a 56 year old woman who had knees so bad she wished she had crutches just a little over a year ago.

The book that got me started on weight loss

What did you love best about The Great Cholesterol Myth?

I love the procedural history.

What other book might you compare The Great Cholesterol Myth to and why?

Fat Chance - all of these books support the premise that we are chasing the wrong tail in our fight for health.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Too long for that. But it did make for a great car ride!

Great summary of the cholesterol wars
