5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on important topic, April 1 2003

By

This review is from: Every Heart Attack Is Preventable (Mass Market Paperback)

Great book because:

1) He's an M.D. that also teaches at a university hospital.
2) No hocus-pocus ancient remedies, or magic bullets.
3) Covers the results from newer longitudinal studies.
4) Discusses the new findings on causes of heart disease.
5) Discusses which foods are good/bad for you.
6) Develops a scoring system for foods that is easy to follow.
7) Points out that it is really a multi-faceted problem.
8) Describes the medical tests to get.

What I didn't like:

1) He says I have to exercise more.
2) He says I have to lose more weight.

I can now understand that: all food is bad, but without it you die; some foods are better than others; food is not the only part of this problem.

Overall, this is a great book that summarizes current understanding of heart disease. Perhaps most important is his point on the multi-faceted nature of heart disease. There are some really interesting charts and diagrams showing how its just not X (just not fat, just not cholesterol).

Great book. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tailored for those with heart attack risk factors, Feb 10 2003

By

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Every Heart Attack Is Preventable (Mass Market Paperback)

Here's a plan for a diet which is tailored for those with heart attack risk factors, from hypertension and high cholesterol to diabetes. The bulk of Every Heart Attack Is Preventable consists of ratings of foods which are proven to help heart strength: tables chart food scores and draw important links between these scores and heart health.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE, Nov 10 2002

This review is from: Every Heart Attack Is Preventable (Mass Market Paperback)

I only wish I had seen this book before suffering a heart attack at 42. In seeking to change my life, I read six decent books on overcoming heart attacks before finding this one. Friends, this book has more great information than the six previous books I read combined. Mogadam should get an award for writing it. Every single page has great information. It even addressed one area -- lipoprotein A -- that caused my heart attack that very, very few others even note. Do yourself or a loved one a favor, buy this book now and make the changes that will save your life. It's easy to read, take notes and implement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just fluff
This is the book to read if you want more information than one-page articles about heart health. I found that most articles and pamphlets gave general information, but did not... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars informative but confusing--overkill
So far I think this book has alot of good info but not put together very well. If most people are like me, they want the info but also want an easy place to start at. Read more
