    About this ebook

    High cholesterol has no real symptoms – and unlike obesity, it can’t be diagnosed just by looking. You can be short and fat with a normal level, or tall and skinny with a high level. The only way to find out is a blood test. This should be done by everyone aged over 40, especially if there is a family history of heart disease. Eating things high in saturated fat, such as butter and cream, and processed meat like sausages and fast food, raises cholesterol. However, high levels can also run in families, regardless of diet. We all need some cholesterol circulating in our blood, because it helps the body’s cells function properly. But the trouble is, it comes in two distinct forms – the bad and the good. It’s the LDL, the bad cholesterol, that you should worry about, that’s the one that can build up on the walls of your arteries, narrowing them to the extent that blood can’t get through and thereby increases the risk of a heart attack.

      Treating Cholesterol

      The singular focus on treating cholesterol as a means to prevent heart attacks is leading to the deaths of millions of people because the real underlying cause of the majority of heart disease is not being diagnosed or treated by most physicians.

      For example, I recently saw a patient named Jim who had normal cholesterol levels yet was taking the most powerful statin on the market, Crestor. Despite this aggressive pharmaceutical treatment, this man was headed for a serious heart attack. Jim's doctors had missed his real disease risks by focusing on and treating his cholesterol levels. All the while they were ignoring the most important condition that put him at dramatically higher risk of heart attacks, diabetes, cancer and dementia. In a moment I will explain what this condition is and what you can do about it.

      This craze for treating cholesterol has led to an onslaught of pharmaceuticals designed to lower cholesterol. Statins are now the number one selling class of drugs in the nation and new cholesterol medications are produced every day. The latest in a new class of super cholesterol drugs, CETP inhibitors, now in the drug approval pipeline from Merck (anacetrapib) burst into the news recently with exclamations from typically restrained scientists. Data on this new drug was recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine and presented at the American Heart Association conference in Chicago.

      The study found a 39.8 percent reduction in LDL (or bad cholesterol) and a 138 percent increase in HDL or good cholesterol.(i) Sure, the medications lowered cholesterol. However, the study was not large enough or long enough to answer the most important question: Did the drug result in fewer heart attacks and deaths? Despite this glaring omission, the scientists reporting on these results used words such as spectacular, giddy, enormous, most excited in decades to describe their enthusiasm over the medication. Of course, the researchers (as I described in a
