From Library Journal

Elevated blood cholesterol levels have been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. In this book, a practicing cardiologist and a nurse define cholesterol, instruct the reader in identifying and eliminating it from their diet, and propose a new low-fat diet to follow. Saturated fats are identified and replaced by unsaturated fats in recipes that are provided. The various fats and oils in use and their levels of cholesterol are listed. Food tables provide data on the number of calories and amount of cholesterol for selected foods, and a list of menu items from fast-food restaurants provides information on those items. Recommended for most health collections.

A great book that is easily written to explain how diet affects your body's lipids and lipid chemistry. There are nice explanations on how to review nutrition information on foods so that you can start making smart choices when grocery shopping. There are also numerous healthy recipes that I have enjoyed making as well as being served. This is a great book for those wanting to live a heart healthy lifestyle.
