...what REALLY causes heart disease?
...that heart patients haven't eaten more saturated fat than other people and stroke patients have eaten less?
...that diabetics may be cured if they replace carbohydrates with saturated fat?
...that people with low cholesterol become just as atherosclerotic as people with high?
...that high cholesterol is not a risk factor for women or diabetics?
...that high cholesterol is not a risk factor for old people although by far most heart attacks occur after age 65?
...that old people with high cholesterol live longer than old people with low?
...that the lipoproteins protect us against infectious diseases and probably also against cancer? The author is a scientist himself and has published more than 80 papers and letters in the scientific press critical to the cholesterol campaign, for which he has won two international awards. In his new book, which includes updated and simplified sections from his previous one (The Cholesterol Myths), Ravnskov also presents his own idea about the cause of heart disease, an idea that explains all the findings that do not fit with the present view.
