THE CHOLESTEROL MYTH by Dr Robert Buist

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 deaths

 No-cholesterol diets are unsuitable for people with high cholesterol

 Stress 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.
