About this title

From the Author

RE SOLUBLE FIBER:"Diet high in fiber can lower total and LDL cholesterol a little bit but really not enough to make any difference if one has levels in the range which need treatment. Such a program has no effect on HDLC. Total reductions are less than 10%, which will seldom reach the goals of treatment..." (page 46) RE HOMOCYSTEINE: Omitted from CCWD because too complex to explain to general reader, plus no evidence that reducing it will reduce heart attacks, strokes, deaths. For the cost of one homocysteine blood test (about $130), one can treat with folic acid, vitamins B6 and B12 for a year or more. Fol-gard (Upsher-Smith) is an excellent product. RE VEGETARIANISM: The facts quoted (pages 48-50) on lower HDLC, no death reduction in male vegetarians, increased deaths in female vegetarians, and just as much atherosclerosis at autopsy are all from Mary Enig, PhD, noted nutritionist, in an earlier book (cited). RE AVOIDING MEAT to lessen oxidation of LDL: no definite evidence that this reduces heart attacks, strokes, deaths. Lean red meat is interchangeable with chicken in AHA diets. RE ANTIOXIDANTS: Discussed thoroughly (pages 193-194). Jury still out, but recent studies have tended to discredit vitamin E use.
