Diet & Heart Disease is a really must read book for any one who has been told to lower his cholesterol by diet or drugs. The very diet that has been recommended to reduce heart disease by many medical and nutritional practitioners for the past 50 years is the very diet that CAUSES it.

Pass on this one...,

Ce commentaire est de: Diet & Heart Disease It's Not What You Think...: It's Not What You Think (Paperback)
I found it hard to separate the wheat from the chaff with this book. The useful information in this book is buried between unsubstantiated statements of fact and obscure references. I mean, the author makes it sound like everybody should know what "acerola powder" is, as if you could pick it up at the local market. I found his writing style to be preachy and pontificating, like a politicized tirade from Crossfire, where the "other side" couldn't possibly have anything of value to add to the conversation.

Ce commentaire est de: Diet & Heart Disease It's Not What You Think...: It's Not What You Think (Paperback)
I really appreciated this book. It was information-dense, yet easy to read. I thought the chapter on Dr. Price's research was a real eye-opener into how healthy traditional peoples ate and thrived on a diet rich in whole foods, including animal foods.The chapter debunking the Lipid Hypothesis and Cholesterol Myth was well-written. The chapter on true causes of heart disease was, again, full of information, but easy to read. After reading this chapter, you'll never eat margarine again, let me tell you! The last chapter, "A Grab Bag of Good Things For Your Heart," was practical and informative, listing certain herbs and nutritional factors like CoQ10. All in all, I'm glad I bought and read this book.

An Intrepid Researcher,
By Elizabeth Milne "Meat Eater" - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Diet & Heart Disease It's Not What You Think...: It's Not What You Think (Paperback)
Stephen Byrnes' work was always well researched. This book is no exception to that. Rosemary's comment is typical of a PETA vegan; aggressive and attack-dog like. Stephen Byrnes DID follow his own advice but he died of complications of HIV.

Spreading the word that will save lives.,
By Amanda K. Buxbaum - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Diet & Heart Disease It's Not What You Think...: It's Not What You Think (Paperback)
Stephen Byrnes' book is short and clear and very persuasive. I have given it to three people (with cardiovascular health problems) as a gift and I am confident that if they read this book and take even a few things to heart, they will live healthier and longer.
