About this listen

The best-selling book on heart disease, updated with the latest research and clinical findings on high-fat/ketogenic diets, sugar, genetics, and other factors.

Heart disease is the number-one killer. However, 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 and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat/high-carb diets and serious, side-effect-causing statin drugs, obscure the real causes of heart disease. Even doctors at leading institutions have been misled for years based on creative reporting of research results from pharmaceutical companies intent on supporting the $31-billion-a-year cholesterol-lowering drug industry.

The Great Cholesterol Myth reveals the real culprits of heart disease, including inflammation, fibrinogen, triglycerides, homocysteine, belly fat, triglyceride to HDL ratios, and high glycemic levels.

Everyone should listen to this! Incredible information. I’ve just listened to Glucose Revolution and that has a lot of the same info which is reassuring!

Eye opening

We need to challenge our GPs to offer us better preventative health or we will die from pharmaceutical poisoning.

Brilliant for anyone who wants more agency over their health.

Now I have a great understanding of what cholesterol is and not what I previously thought it was.

Very informative!!

Great book and I agree with all the content and message. They rightly criticise the pharma industry’s approach to statistics using relative rather than absolute improvements. Then they go on to do exactly the same thing themselves for the rest of the book! Not a problem as I understand what they mean but it kept me amused!

Excellent but amusingly hypocritical

A believer in the great cholesterol con after researching as part of my own studies some years ago, I enjoyed listening to this author unravel the headlines and studies to expose the truth and the 'interesting' marketing claims by Big Pharma. A must listen for anyone sitting on the fence about cholesterol in heart disease!

The truth! Scientifically dissected in layman's terms for an enjoyable listen
