Overview from Dr. Sinatra

Heart disease is the #1 disease killer, and despite all that you have heard, cholesterol is not the reason.

Cholesterol is, in fact, a natural substance produced by your body to convert sunlight to vitamin D, and to make sex hormones, vital semi-permeable membranes for your trillions of cells, and bile salts for digestion. Even your brain makes cholesterol, and uses it to build connections between the neurons that facilitate learning and memory.

Your body makes cholesterol because it needs it!

The real perpetrators of heart disease are inflammation, stress, and overeating sugar and processed foods. That's what you need to do something about. Not obsess about your cholesterol. Or obsess about saturated fat. A high carb diet is the problem.

Dr. Sinatra used to believe that cholesterol and fat were the problem, but during his forty years as a physician he learned otherwise from his own patients and extensive research.

He also learned that cholesterol lowering drugs are unnecessary for most people, are way over-prescribed, and are not as safe as people think. The side effects are many and, unfortunately, often dismissed by doctors when patients complain.

For decades, the public has been misled and misinformed about heart disease. Dr. Sinatra decided to try and do something about it. That's why he teamed up with nutrition expert Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., to write this book that presents powerful scientific evidence against one of the biggest myths of modern medicine.

The Great Cholesterol Myth is about educating and separating fact from fiction, and, equally important, providing a solid how-to program based on research and clinical findings to effectively prevent, manage, and reverse heart disease.
