Download or read book The Great Cholesterol Myth Revised and Expanded written by Jonny Bowden and published by Fair Winds Press. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 #1 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. Best-selling health authors Jonny Bowden, PhD, and Stephen Sinatra, MD, give readers a four-part strategy based on the latest studies and clinical findings for effectively preventing, managing, and reversing heart disease, focusing on diet, exercise, supplements, and stress and anger management. Myths vs. Facts Myth: High cholesterol is the cause of heart disease. Fact: Cholesterol is only a minor player in the cascade of inflammation which is a cause of heart disease. Myth: Saturated fat is dangerous. Fact: Saturated fats are not dangerous. The killer fats are the transfats from partially hydrogenated oils. â?? Myth: The higher the cholesterol, the shorter the lifespan. Fact: Higher cholesterol protects you from gastrointestinal disease, pulmonary disease, and hemorrhagic stroke. Myth: High cholesterol is a predictor of heart attack. Fact: There is no correlation between cholesterol and heart attacks. Myth: Lowering cholesterol with statin drugs will prolong your life. Fact: There is no data to show that statins have a significant impact on longevity. Myth: Statin drugs are safe. Fact: Statin drugs can be extremely toxic including causing death. Myth: Statin drugs are useful in men, women, and the elderly. Fact: Statin drugs do the best job in middle-aged men with coronary disease. Myth: Statin drugs are useful in middle-aged men with coronary artery disease because of its impact on cholesterol. Fact: Statin drugs reduce inflammation and improve blood viscosity (thinning blood). Statins are extremely helpful in men with low HDL and coronary artery disease.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The hearing reported in this document considered the debate over the role government should play in cholesteral education. The value of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's massive National Cholesteral Education Program in questioned and the placement of such a high priority on cholesteral education while other national health problems exist is challenged. Two witnesses testify that the hazards of cholesteral have been greatly exaggerated. Methods of cholesteral screening (public screenings vs. private visits to doctors) and their relative merits are discusses. Other witnesses assert that the dangers of cholesteral are not overstated and that the government's role in publicizing cholesteral related information will help to lower suffering and death from chronic heart disease.
Download or read book Analysis of Factors that Influence Men and Women 25 to 44 Years of Age to Seek Preventive Cholesterol Exams written by Julie Kay Neubig and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study used a triangulation of methodologies - in-depth interviews and focus groups - to investigate what factors influence men and women 25 to 44 years of age of to seek preventive cholesterol exams. Study participants were recruited from local churches and from various departments within the University of Florida. The theoretical grounding of this study in a postpositivist worldview helped provide an enhanced understanding of the following research questions: (1) What is the familiarity level about preventive cholesterol screening among men and women 25 to 44 years of age? (2) What does high cholesterol mean to this group of men and women? (3) Do men and women within this age group know the factors that cause high cholesterol? (4) What is their knowledge level about cholesterol levels and prevention behaviors? (5) What are the risks, barriers and advantages that this group associates with preventive cholesterol screenings? Analysis of the transcribed discourse revealed four emergent themes: reasonable knowledge of cholesterol, factors influencing cholesterol, no communication with medical providers after cholesterol screening, and screening comfort. While literature indicated that less than 50% of men and women 25 to 44 years of age had been screened for LDL cholesterol, all but one of the participants in this study had been screened. This was the case for all ages included in the study as well as for both Caucasians and African Americans included in this study. However, there was confusion about when the screenings should be completed. Implications for these findings could assist communication planners with communication campaigns relating to cholesterol screening.
