Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐If you’re looking primarily for information about cholesterol, this might not be your book. It does have that on a rather basic level (which I suppose is to be expected, from the title), but to me this book is trying to be a primer on a healthy lifestyle. Not to say that is a bad thing, and if someone really has no clue as to what a healthy lifestyle is, and they really don’t know anything about cholesterol, they might find this book to be helpful. It wasn’t for me.

⭐This book has a lot of information and I learned some things I never knew. For one thing there are some vegetables that actually raise triglycerides…which is what I’m actually more interested in than choesterol.I did find a couple of items tht conflicted with other information I’ve gotten from my doctor and other readings. For one thing, it says that someone with triglycerides should use oils that have polyunsaturated fats where others have said to use monounsaturated fats. Along the same line, this book says olive oil is high in monounsaturated fats and corn oil is polyunsaturated, however, other places say olive oil is poly and corn oil is poly. A little further reasearch is necessary.Otherwise it is an easy read with a lot of information, although perhaps too much chemistry for my understanding.

⭐I was in need of a Simple Start for Controlling my Cholesterol- In my opinion the ” Dummies Series” in most any type ofself help needs- I find a good place to start. And once again I found that to be true to a point. Just understanding the Terminology of which Fat is the most important to Alter Quickly. This series was helpful.I would suggest it to others- who are looking for the ” Basic Starting Point”I always Start any search for any type of information with Amazon. And seldom have they let me down. I will continue to checkAmazon before any other type of Book.This is an ” Amazon Reviewed Item”.

⭐My husband is having trouble getting his cholesterol down. My hope is that this book will help give us ideas for snacks and meals. We have found the snack suggestions very helpful. Easy to read and comprehend.

⭐This is a fantastic book for learning all about the cholestrol which is the reason why I bought it. However, after I read it, I was pleasantly surprised to find this book to be better than most popular “diet” books out there. It’s straight forward (with humor!), contains lots of informative facts, many handy references (web sites, phone numbers, statistics etc.,), considerate of the reader and not out to please any interest groups (i.e., honest). What more can you ask for! This book is well worth your money.

⭐A good nursing review

⭐I like the good explanation in this book , Cholesterol is not easy to understand and here you find tips forthe good food , exercise and medicine if you need them . I appreciate much . Hendrikus v.d. Bosch .

⭐Quick ship, good packaging, competitive price, and is written at a perfect level for the non-medically trained person.

⭐I bought this for a friend because I already have one myself and found it very helpful. It is American so lots of the foods mentioned are not used by us. Mine thing I found particularly good was a matrix at the bavk of the book which listed lots of foods and how they are made up. The reason I have not given it five is because my friend, whose eyesight is not so good, complained that the printing was very light so difficult for her to read. My eyesight is good so I had no problem.

⭐Full of good information Reasonably set out Covers most information

⭐Great price and fast delivery thanks again

⭐Good information & easy to understand

⭐Was very informative. Just what I was looking for.
