3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat helpful, June 29, 2007

By	M. Tankersley (Virginia Beach, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Cholesterol Counter: 6th Edition (Mass Market Paperback)

This is pretty much the only cholesterol counting book I've been able to find, and it is quite helpful with it's cholesterol and fiber listings. The frustrating part is there are no listings for total fat, saturated fat, and trans fat. Fats are a HUGE part of watching cholesterol! I had to buy the fat counter as well (which still has no listing of trans fats) to keep accurate track of my intake. I have to look up everything I eat in TWO books, big pain in the [...]. I know these authors have one huge book that covers both fats and cholesterol, but that one doesn't list any restaurants. But if you've got to watch your levels, it will help. I do angioplasty and stenting for a living and I've seen enough to know I don't want either!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Small section for restaurants, February 13, 2007

By	Mermaiden - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Cholesterol Counter: 6th Edition (Mass Market Paperback)

I have been seeking a book with cholesterol counts that details restaurants. This book does contain a section, but it is very small, and doesn't include many places I eat. If you're looking for information on non-restaurant food, you would probably enjoy this book a lot more than I.
