EVERY HEART ATTACK IS PREVENTABLE
By Dr. Michael Magadam
Lifeline Publishing (2001)
For the past 30 years American medicine has promoted the belief that high blood cholesterol is the major cause of heart attacks. Yet during the past decade, although cholesterol levels in the U.S. have dropped an average of 30 points, the rate of heart disease has climbed. Indeed a vast number of studies have shown that long-term dietary cholesterol reduction is unlikely to have much affect on heart disease.
For instance, a recent study of Japanese men living in Japan, Honolulu and San Francisco proved that while each group ate the same amount of cholesterol, death by heart attack was twice as high for those men living in Hawaii and three times as high among those in San Francisco as for those in Japan.
In EVERY HEART ATTACK IS PREVENTABLE, Dr. Michael Mogadam writes that over emphasizing elevated blood cholesterol can actually make many other risk factors worse. Why and how is the subject of this fascinating book.
Dr. Michael Mogadam is Assistant Professor of Medicine at Georgetown University in Washington D.C., specializing in nutrition and cholesterol disorders. His first book, Choosing Foods for a Healthy Heart, was published by Consumer Reports in 1994. Dr. Mogadam is used to challenging scientific dogma, almost single-handedly altering the "standard" treatment for gallstones when he proved that dietary fat is not responsible for gallstone attack. He also demonstrated that cholesterol fluctuates daily and should not be used as an indicator of disease based on one test.
