Packed with accessible information about cholesterol and advice to help you identify if you have raised cholesterol levels, the book includes a clinically proven three-month programme to help you wash cholesterol out of your system and improve your cholesterol balance.

Format:Hardcover
This is an excellent book and an almost no-brain purchase if you have Amazon prime
No throwaway booklet, this is an in depth study of the causes and treatment of high cholesterol. Ms Brewer appears to be an academic and the book certainly exudes authority and clarity. What suited me was that, instead of simplifying the science by omitting details, she actually clarifies it and leaves one with a really good grasp of whats actually going on.
In terms of contents I guess its the same as all the others eg definitions, causes, risk factors, diet, statins followed by a thorough plan for reducing LDL, increasing HDL in 12 weeks
I bought 3 books on being diagnosed with high LDL.
The other 2 were longer books, but this is the one that has stuck.

Format:Hardcover
I have now ordered three of these books, and given them to friends, who, like me, have found themselves with a high cholesterol level. This book, gives lots of valuable information, that helps you to know what foods can help to lower cholesterol and what foods can cause the levels to increase. Very informative material that also helps to see how Statins are not always the answer.
