Average Rating: 
Rating: - Up-to-date truth
For several years I have read multiple research papers and other scientific literature regarding cholesterol and the effects of treating "elevated" cholesterol. This book gives remarkably extensive and contemporary as well as historic scientific information that should help people learn the truth about this subject. It is unfortunate that it will probably take another 10 years before the medical community comes to its senses about "treating" cholesterol. This book is not for the casual reader, however. ...

Rating: - Much more than cholesterol
Colpo writes in clear, engaging and flowing prose. The title does not convey the many other health myths he takes to task using Randomized Clinical Trials as much as possible and keeping an eye on statistical significance. Here is a partial list of the most striking conclusions drawn by the author:
1. Higher than average cholesterol is protective against CVD in those over 50, a population that is much more prone to CVD than young people. The very slight evidence for lower cholesterol being ... Read More
Rating: - Incredibly Researched Critique!
Anthony Colpo demolishes the popular theory that high cholesterol, or even high LDL levels, cause coronary heart disease (CHD). He does this through painstaking, but compelling research, which few doctors have the time to perform. He deconstructs studies and clinical trials going back, in some cases more than fifty years, to show how the results of these trials have been either ignored or manipulated by interested parties, chiefly pharmaceutical companies. This industry has succeeded in brainwashing the ... Read More
Rating: - Stats
Well I haven't read the book so technically I shouldn't be reviewing it but here's some statistics that may be useful for some. I'd likely be more inclined to give it a bad review as is the case with most of these books the author is ludicrously biased (including statistically) and goes off on an egocentric diatribe. That said, since I've not read it and wouldn't presume to know it I've decided to be sporting and give it 5 stars.

Rating: - Eye Opening, Fascinating and most importantly - Easy to Understand
Clear, easy to understand explanations of the scientific aspects of cholesterol, blood lipids, importance of nitric oxide, and more. After reading this book, I finally understood how the various fats - saturated, un, mono, poly - differ as well as the importance of nitric oxide, reducing stress, and eliminating free radicals. The cholesterol mania just doesn't make sense any more. (Unless - like I tell my husband - the heart dr.s just can't resist those hot salesgirls that visit their offices.)
