Summary

The doctor looks you in the eye and says, "You have high cholesterol." Now what? Statins are not the answer! Not by a long shot! Dr. Tom Cowan of the New Biology Clinic reminds us that there is no correlation between high cholesterol and heart attacks, heart disease, or early death. He sheds light on the HDL/LDL ratio questions and suggests that cholesterol tests, in the first place, do not provide helpful data in any case.

Find out what Tom recommends instead to maintain a healthy heart and a healthy lifestyle.
