The Great Cholesterol Myth


Read that book and it is a real eye-opener. Tears apart the evolution that led to the fear. Making those, even with moderate elevation, beg for their meds.

Sadly, I followed the book, ate healthy, exercised daily. My cholesterol was always around 300 w/o meds. Now I have 2 stents (stints?) after 2 heart attacks, and my right artery is currently 100% blocked.

Even after all this, i still know it wasn’t random clotting from irratic LDL. My high numbers were/are only a symptom of another underlying condition.

All in all, I highly recommend your recommendation!

Do you mind me asking, what was your underlying condition?

What are your CRP, A1C and APOB levels? They might tell the story.
