My total cholesterol blood value has hovered around 200 for over 15 years. Last year it was 237. We're waiting on results of lab tests done last week to see how it stands now. After reading and reviewing this new book, I'm VERY reluctant to consider oral meds.
When the first studies came out indicating that cholesterol could be a contributing factor to atherosclerosis and heart attacks, the "normal" range of blood levels for total cholesterol was established as 150 to 300. Over the years, the higher end of the range has been lowered. Dr. Curtis says it was lowered with no evidence to support the change.
Here is my review of his book: http://technorati.com/lifestyle/article/the-cholesterol-delusion-by-ernest-n/
Check it out and see what you think. If you or someone you love is taking or thinking about taking drugs to lower your cholesterol, the modest investment in time and money in this book could make a difference!
Hi Etier!!!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is very good with important information that are worth checking so I think you should paste the translator with flags of other countries so that more people can read their articles.
Good week!!!
