Sugar Beat

About this book

Your "high cholesterol" - LDL, Lp(a), ApoB - is not the problem.In 1987, the first statin reached the market. In 1988, the threshold for "high cholesterol" was lowered - sweeping millions of healthy people into treatment overnight. Dr. Anthony Jay spent years in the lab studying LDL oxidation. His argument: cardiology has chased the wrong number for forty years. The artery is not a pipe that clogs. It is living tissue, and what erodes it is sugar - insulin resistance, glycation, oxidation, inflammation. Correct that environment, and the science now shows plaque can be halted and often reversed.Inside: Why a flawless cholesterol panel can hide advanced disease Why "bad cholesterol" is not bad The blood markers that predict an early onset heart attack - and why your doctor never orders them A three-tiered protocol matched to your artery scan score Foreword by Ken Berry, MD. You will not read your next lab panel - or your next artery scan - the same way again.
