PREDICT AND PREVENT HEART DISEASE

Contrary to popular belief, every heart attack is predictable and preventable. So says Dr. Michael Mogadam, noted author of groundbreaking studies that have challenged the medical establishment. He believes that an elevated blood cholesterol level is only 1 of 20 major risk factors for heart disease—most of which are not affected by reducing dietary fat. Long-term exposure to multiple risk factors causes heart attacks, says Dr. Mogadam, and lowering your cholesterol—whether through diet or prescription drugs—is not enough.
