Read this controversial article regarding cholesterol fighting medication and heart disease. Read on:
Santa Ana, CA, January 25, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Millions of adults across the country take cholesterol-lowering medication, prescribed to help them fight the “silent killer” of cholesterol. The author says the drugs, one of the most profitable medications in the history of U.S. medication, will not protect them from the ravages of heart disease. In fact, his book systematically refutes prevailing theories – which have dominated mainstream medical thought for the last 40 years – that link diet and blood cholesterol levels to coronary heart disease and heart attacks.
The Cholesterol Delusion, published byDog Ear Publishing, traces the development of the Cholesterol Theory, Lipid Hypothesis and Diet-Heart Theory, pointing out where they are based on “faulty evidence and unscientific reasoning,” the author writes. The book goes even further, attacking the foundation of the “risk factor” paradigm that has dominated cardiovascular research as well as other medical research for decades. A glossary, appendices on how to read medical journal reports, and actual reports on a lipid research clinics trial and a heart study prove to be helpful tools in comprehending this complicated issue. This book, written for intelligent laymen, will open the eyes of anyone who has been told he has elevated levels of cholesterol that must be medically controlled.
