At my last checkup, my doctor told me that my cholesterol was a little high. Nothing to worry about yet as my HDL was very good, but I should try to make a few dietary changes to lower the bad numbers as they were on the high end of normal. I did not want to take drugs as all drugs have unpleasant side effects.

Does a good job explaining how various systems in your body work together to affect your cholesterol levels. The author is great about citing and explaining the specific studies that all the recommendations are based on - this really helped me understand and evaluate the recommendations. Might be a bit too sciencey for some, but I reallly appreciated it.
easy, and realistically possible diet, skipped much of the scientific parts, loved the practical suggestions, personal stories, and recipes!! now i just need a personal chef to come and make those meals for me!! Although Mike is doing great!!
This book was helpful in identifying foods I can eat to bring my cholesterol.
Well written book. A lot of studies referenced, but the information makes sense. I don't know how well I would be able to follow this, being a person who doesn't cook much, but will try to the best of my ability because it is a good natural and healthy way to approach lowering cholesterol.
A few chapters covering the science followed by ten chapters on the what you should be eating or doing to lower cholesterol. Straight forward and worth gleaning what you can from the material.
Have high cholesterol? This is great and it works.
