Discover the truth about cholesterol and heart disease that your doctor probably doesn’t know, and the drug companies hope you never find out.  Have you ever heard of the "French Paradox"? The "French Paradox" is the unexplained riddle of how a nation of alcohol-quaffing, croissant-munching gourmands stays healthy and slim, while a disproportionate number of health-obsessed Americans are obese and at cardiovascular risk. This "French Paradox" has puzzled people for years. Frank Cooper answers this riddle in depth and with clarity. The answer does not lie in cholesterol. In fact, at least one cholesterol-lowering drug kills more people than it saves.

When Oscar-award winning filmmaker Michael Moore released his controversial film SICKO in 2007 it brought tears to the eyes of many viewers. The USA - the world?s richest nation - was ranked just 38th in healthcare by the World Health Organisation. America thought it had the best healthcare system in the world, and learned that they had one of the worst.

What the movie brought to our attention, was that France had the #1 healthcare system in the world according to the World Health Organisation.  Nutritionally speaking, the French have been blessed: They eat all the butter, cream, fatty liver pate, pastry and cheese that their hearts desire, and yet their rates of obesity and heart disease are much lower than the USA and UK.  The French eat three times as much saturated animal fat as Americans, and only a third as many die of heart attacks.  Clearly the French have got it right, and the smart solutions for good eating habits, lowering heart disease, and improved health, can be found in France.

So if you are tired of conflicting theories, diets, worried about your cholesterol, heart disease, or just plain unsure about your best health options available -  then this insightful book about the French and their food and lifestyle is a must read.

ABOUT THE eBOOK

Cholesterol and The French Paradox was first published a year ago in Australia as a Paperback book and received excellent reviews. The eBook version has been extensively updated, and provides a comprehensive understanding of cholesterol, heart disease and ageing. It has been written for people who are concerned about cholesterol and heart disease, and is a valuable book for non-medical people, as well as trained medical professionals.

In particular, cholesterol is examined against the backdrop of the French Paradox, which is the unexplained riddle of how the French nation that enjoys eating rich foods and drinking wine, manages to stay healthy, while a disproportionate number of health-conscious Americans and Australians are over-weight and at risk of heart disease. The French eat twice as much cholesterol and saturated fats in the form of cheese, butter, cream, pate and cakes and yet have only one-third (1/3) the number of heart attacks. This eBook gives insight into the French Paradox and provides a roadmap for avoiding cardiovascular disease.......

REVIEWS BY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS

This book is a welcomed contribution to the subject of cholesterol. It should appeal to busy business executives seeking a high-level view of the latest developments concerning cholesterol and heart disease. -- Dr. Uffe Ravnskov, MD, Sweden, renowned expert on cholesterol and author of the book The Cholesterol Myths.

You are doing a great service with the main themes of your book. I hope you disseminate it widely. It takes great courage to buck the well-funded dons of diet dogma, also called The Cholesterol Mafia. The essential nature of cholesterol ? for cell membranes and brain function, the source of vitamin D in the body, and an important anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agent ? cannot be told too often. -- Dr. Joel M Kaufmann, PhD, Professor for Chemistry Emeritus, University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, USA and author of the book  Malignant Medical Myths.

Frank does a good job presenting information on how basic science research can be exploited by financial interests. I especially agree with him that people are going to be the healthiest when they consume fresh whole foods and shun refined and processed foods. That advice is far more useful than current recommendations to cut down on cholesterol & saturated fats which reduces intake of some of our most highly nutritious foods.   -- Dr. Charles T. McGee, MD, USA, author of the books
