1: p. 367 regarding transfats are found in coconut and palm oils
I have heard this author several times on the Art Bell show. I decided to buy the book, but am wondering about this statement on p. 367:
"The advice from the professionals is to definitely try to eliminate trans fats that are found in great amounts in coconut and palm oils. Be aware of them on labels and shun products with the killer phrase, "partially hydrogenated," particularly if the words appear amonth the first few entrants listed.
I was never under the impression or had knowledge that coconut oil and palm oil were/are trans fats.
I see no place, looking thru the index, where it is shown differently.
Otherwise, there seems to be some good advice in this book. I stand corrected if I am wrong about coconut oil and/or palm oil. (We use only organic oil.)

2: Hidden Causes
I am aware of the benefit of drugs in treatment of Heart Disease as my husband is using them after having a stent placed in his heart. They are of great benefit for him. It was, however, difficult to get past the early chapters touting drugs as the best solution for prevention even for children. Don't give up, as he has some good advice in the later chapters of the book and recommends supplements that even many Heart Doctors fail to recommend to their patients.

3: We CAN know more than most doctors!
This book is magnificent. It is easy to understand because it is not exclusively directed towards scientists. It provides detailed descriptions about new research that most doctors are not aware about yet as they are caught up in traditional methods to treat heart disease. It empowers those concerned about their cardiovascular health as it provides clear ways to avoid important risk factors. The choice of reading it is rewarding.
I am doing heart research at Winthrop University, and since heart disease runs in my family, I am interested to find out why so many of my ancestors suddenly died from a heart attack. If they come out with a new edition of this book I won't hesitate to read it.

4: Got useful information first 5 minutes
I figure most medical books are a dry scientific read, about as interesting as watching paint dry. I heard the author of this book on a radio interview, and enjoyed his style. So what the heck, I bought the book, and in the first five minutes of scanning, I picked up some useful supplement information. I have actually read 50% of the book and find it easy to read and follow. Best of all I can understand what the author is trying to relate. The big question here is Was it worth the Money? YES it was! If I use the knowledge I gained and create small healthy changes in my life, well then the price of the book was a Bargain!
