Managing Cholesterol Naturally

Heart disease is America’s number one health killer; it’s ahead of every type of cancer combined and every infectious and degenerative disease. Heart attack is the most common form of heart disease, and one significant risk factor for heart attack is high cholesterol or, more specifically, a high level of certain kinds of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) — the “bad” fat and protein particles that ferry cholesterol into your arteries.

If you already know all this introductory stuff, feel free to skip Chapter 1 and head right into Chapter 2 where I describe cholesterol’s dual nature (yes, cholesterol has two sides).

But, then again, this chapter does lay out a statistical picture of heart disease and heart attack and explain the role cholesterol plays in placing you at risk. In fact, come to think of it, this chapter is a darn good intro to Controlling Cholesterol For Dummies, 2nd Edition.
