The Great Cholesterol Myth by Jonny Bowden
Why Lowering Your Cholesterol Won't Prevent Heart Disease and the Statin-Free Plan that Will
This book challenges the conventional view that high cholesterol alone is the primary cause of heart disease, arguing instead that inflammation, insulin resistance, high triglycerides and small, dense LDL particles are the real drivers; it criticizes overreliance on LDL numbers and widespread statin use and recommends focusing on reducing sugar and refined carbohydrates, improving diet with healthy fats, vegetables and omega‑3s, regular exercise, and using more specific tests (particle size/number and inflammatory markers) to assess cardiovascular risk.
