In this Woodland Health Series booklet, Dr. Jane Semple reviews important information about the relationship between cholesterol and disease. She discusses the types of cholesterol, commonly accepted cholesterol levels, and the risks of taking cholesterol-lowering pharmaceuticals-the most prescribed drugs in the world. Dr. Semple then reveals that cholesterol levels may not be as important a marker of cardiovascular health as inflammation and homocysteine levels. This is critical reading if you want to live a heart-healthy life!
