Cholesterol may not be the killer we've all been led to believe. In an examination of the most up-to-date research into cholesterol and heart disease, internationally respected nutritionist Dr Robert Buist sheds new light on the way we approach heart disease. He presents clear evidence that:
Slightly elevated cholesterol levels are not associated with an increased risk of dying from heart disease;
Dramatically reducing your dietary cholesterol can lead to an increased risk of cancer, suicide, accidents or violent death;
No-cholesterol diets are unsuitable for people with high cholesterol;
Stess alone can elevate cholesterol.
Up to now too much emphasis has been placed on an extremist dietary view towards preventing heart disease, while very little attention has been paid to the most important aspect - well-balanced nutrition. If you follow his innovative healthy heart programme, you can enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine; you can eat red meat and prawns; butter, salt and eggs are back on the menu; you can even eat foods that have a high fat content - as long as the fat is in the right composition and your are moderate in your intake. The key is to let food itself become your cardiovascular medicine, it's simply a matter of eating your way to a healthy heart.
Soft cover, good condition. The paper is browning a bit.
