Too much outdated information.,
By Todd Bublitz (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cholesterol Cures: More Than 325 Natural Ways to Lower Cholesterol and Live Longer from Almonds and Chocolate to Garlic and Wine (Paperback)
For a book revised in 2002, there are several outdated errors or omissions. In the section about antioxidants, preliminary studies performed in 1993 were cited. Since that time, there have been several studies rebuffing the claims made in this book. The editors should have made more of an effort to keep up with new research findings. Also, the NCEP III Guidelines came out in May 2001, yet this book lists the classification of abnormal triglyceride levels from the 1996 NCEP II Guidelines. Personally, I was aware of the contents (and changes) of the NCEP III Guidelines by December 2000. Certainly the books' medical advisor, Dr. William Castelli, was aware of the changes in the NCEP Guidelines. The editors appear to have missed the boat on this issue.The good points of the book are basic diet knowledge. Such as; fruits and vegetables are good, mono-unsaturated fats and fiber are good. Also, other sound advice like; smoking is bad and exercise is good. There are many good examples and explanations of beneficial dietary and lifestyle issues. However, the lack of current information and the almost conscience effort to steer people down a few dead end streets makes this book not worth the effort of reading. The bottom line: the book says 2002, but some of the information, or mis-information, is mid-1990's.

SIMPLY THE BEST CHOLESTEROL BOOK!,

This review is from: Cholesterol Cures: More Than 325 Natural Ways to Lower Cholesterol and Live Longer from Almonds and Chocolate to Garlic and Wine (Paperback)
My husband had a heart attack and I wanted to find some books about heart healthy foods that would lower cholesterol. I found this book and I have never been so pleased in my life with book!! The format is wonderful. It is not overwhelming like so many others I bought. It covers heart healthy foods from A to Z. It has a magnificent synopsis of each food, why it's healthy and even has suggestions of how to integrate the food into your diet. I read it cover to cover in a matter of an hour and felt wonderful about what I learned. It also has a cholesterol counter in the back which has become invaluable to me. If you are looking for a book on cholesterol--LOOK NO FURTHER!!! BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you like health information in little bits at a time...,
By Track Your Plaque - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cholesterol Cures: More Than 325 Natural Ways to Lower Cholesterol and Live Longer from Almonds and Chocolate to Garlic and Wine (Paperback)
The editors of Prevention Magazine, along with medical advisor William Castelli, MD, of Framingham Study fame, have assembled a unique collection of information on lowering cholesterol. Actually, this book is about lots more than lowering cholesterol. The "chapters" run around 3-4 pages a piece, each one focusing on some nutritional supplement or food that provides some heart-healthy benefit.
The chapters on almonds, monounsaturated fat, pectin, flaxseed, and soy are among the most helpful. Information on health can often be confusing with pros and cons of various strategies reported in the media every day. The format of this book, with focused discussions on numerous foods and supplements delivered in bits and pieces, can make wading through the mountain of information more manageable. If you'd like some information on heart-health without having to read a book cover to cover, but selectively for the parts you find most helpful, you'll get great use out of this book. 10 of 13 people found the following review helpful:
