Rosenman, MD--Former Director of Cardiovascular Research, SRI Dr. Ravnskov's measured and clear-eyed analysis actually serves as a sledgehammer that breaks down barriers to healthy, sensible eating. -- Sally Fallon, author of Nourishing Traditions A highly qualified doctor and scientist analyzes the studies used to justify the cholesterol hypothesis and demonstrates that the idea that animal fats and cholesterol cause heart disease is based on flimsy, even fraudulent evidence and wishful thinking. Includes a discussion on the dangers of vegetable oils and cholesterol-lowering drugs. Dr. Ravnskov has published almost 40 critical papers and letters about the alleged association between cholesterol and cardiovascular disease.

In the end, all of the negative reviewers actually agreed that cholesterol mania is wrong.

It becomes ...

Other books more suited to heart patients examine alternative hypotheses and consider nutritional studies and lay out diet recommendations, but this book maintains a laser-like focus.
