Inflammation: the true cause of heart disease -- Sugar: the real demon in the diet -- The truth about fat: it's not what you think -- The statin scam -- Help your heart with these supplements -- Stress: the silent killer -- Putting it all together: a simple and easy blueprint for a healthy heart and life!

Subject: Traditional heart disease protocols, with their emphasis on lowering cholesterol, have it all wrong. Emerging science is showing that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease. Many research results actually stem from pharmaceutical companies intent on supporting the 31-billion-a-year cholesterol-lowering drug industry. Bowden and Sinatra give readers a strategy for effectively preventing, managing, and reversing heart disease, focusing on diet, exercise, supplements, and stress and anger management.
