    [synopsis] => 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 #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 HDL ratios, and high glycemic levels. 

Best-selling health authors Jonny Bowden, PhD, and Stephen Sinatra, MD, give readers 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. 

Myths vs. Facts 

Myth: High cholesterol is the cause of heart disease. 

Fact: Cholesterol is only a minor player in the cascade of inflammation which is a cause of heart disease. 

Myth: Saturated fat is dangerous. 

Fact: Saturated fats are not dangerous. The killer fats are the transfats from partially hydrogenated oils. 

Myth: The higher the cholesterol, the shorter the lifespan. 

Fact: Higher cholesterol protects you from gastrointestinal disease, pulmonary disease, and hemorrhagic stroke. 

Myth: High cholesterol is a predictor of heart attack. 

Fact: There is no correlation between cholesterol and heart attacks. 

Myth: Lowering cholesterol with statin drugs will prolong your life. 

Fact: There is no data to show that statins have a significant impact on longevity. 

Myth: Statin drugs are safe. 

Fact: Statin drugs can be extremely toxic including causing death. 

Myth: Statin drugs are useful in men, women, and the elderly. 

Fact: Statin drugs do the best job in middle-aged men with coronary disease. 

Myth: Statin drugs are useful in middle-aged men with coronary artery disease because of its impact on cholesterol. 

Fact: Statin drugs reduce inflammation and improve blood viscosity (thinning blood). Statins are extremely helpful in men with low HDL and coronary artery disease.
