The Heart Revolution: The Extraordinary Discovery That Finally Laid the Cholesterol Myth to Rest
This book does a disservice for those who really want helpful information about diet.. Dr. McCully did not do himself any favors by allowing his daughter, Martha, a Fashion Magazine Beauty writer to co-author it.. just very badly written.. and it undermines his medical crediblity..
Don’t waste your time or money.. if you need advice.. go to a reputable medical web site….

I thought the book had some good points. But it was like reading Suzanne Summers book, just a different view no sugar. I liked his book because of the totally realistic view for the everyday person.

Dr. McCulley presents his case for homocystene as a risk factor in heart disease and there is some useful material here. However, he is so intent on convincing his audience that cholesterol is meaningless that he distorts the data. Several times he lumps the effects of cholesterol in the diet (probably of little importance) together with cholesterol in the bloodstream (shown to be important in hundreds of studies). In the end I decided that I wasn’t sure that anything he said was not very biased. Heart disease is probably not a case of homocystene OR cholesterol but homocystene AND cholesterol. I hope all readers of this book will also read other sources such as Kowalski for a balanced presentation. Fortunately there are other sources of information on the importance of homocystene. Reader beware.

I found this diet to be similar to the Atkins diet, but with less fat allowance, which is a good thing. It’s a proven fact now that carbs are our worst enemy, not moderate amounts of fat.
