The groundbreaking cholesterol-lowering program . . . now even more effective!Robert Kowalski's personal story is legendary. By the age of forty-one, he had suffered a heart attack and had undergone two coronary bypass surgeries. A traditional dietary approach to lowering his cholesterol failed dismally, and faced with the unpleasant alternative of a lifetime on medication, he created a program that proved astonishingly effective for him — and legions of others worldwide who used it.
Today Kowalski has beaten heart disease, lives an unlimited and vigorous lifestyle, and uses no prescription drugs. Now, with new information about risk factors, exercise, and supplements, The New 8-Week Cholesterol Cure is even more powerful in fighting heart disease. It includes:

The facts about homocysteine and the deadly cholesterol Lp(a)

A diet that jump-starts cholesterol reduction

The heart-healthy secrets of niacin, other B vitamins, and safe supplements

The latest findings on exercise

New cholesterol-testing methods

New heart-healthy products … and more!

Arm yourself against heart disease-America's number-one killer-and increase your chances for a long, healthy life with The New 8-Week Cholesterol Cure.

Quotes

    The liver uses cholesterol to make bile acids, which are necessary in the digestive process. Unused bile gets recycled, but when you eat oats, the soluble fiber forms a gel in the digestive tract that binds onto bile, eliminating it with the bowel movement. Picture this as a glacier moving through your gut, removing cholesterol as it passes through. Since bile contains cholesterol, and the bile is removed, the body must make more. To do so, it takes cholesterol out of the bloodstream

      About 80 percent of the cholesterol found in our bloodstream is made by the body itself, mainly in the liver. Our diet contributes to only 20 percent or less.
