 recommended by my doctor September 10, 2008
This book was recommended by my doctor after my cholesterol came back a bit high (I'm sure it's genetic). There is a lot of good information, but the recipes don't look terribly appetizing to me.
Helpful Material July 8, 2008
Thankfully the book was written for the lay person which made it easier to follow. The material may have been a bit redundant at times but they did drive home a point. I couldn't make much sense out of the graphs but I suspect my physician will explain that to me since he was the one who recommended the book. Over all it has me more focused on what is listed on the package and the amount of fat I'm putting into my system.
 Grossly misinformed June 6, 2005
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
These so-called doctors are misinformed. One needs to read Mary G. Enig's "Know Your Fats", Bruce Fife's "The Coconut Oil Miracle," Enig's and Sally Fallon's "Eat Fat Lose Fat" as well as Fallon's book, Nourishing Traditions. These books will give scientific information on what the real deal is concerning saturated fats, cholesterol and tropical oils. Enig is a PhDed lipid biochemist, and she has the correct scientific data regarding the true nature of fats. Castelli, one of the directors of the Framingham studies, admitted in the Archives of Internal Medicine, July 1992 that "the more saturated fat one ate, the more cholesterol one ate, the lower the person's serum cholesterol...." This sounds like a contradiction to what's offered in this book. Typical of the misinformation they offer, they put on coconut a virtual label of dietary poison, while the latest research is mounting that coconut and its oils are the healthiest, most beneficial fats of all.
If still in doubt, go to www.westonaprice.org and find out the lowdown on fats, saturated fats and heart disease. It will contradict a good deal of what's presented in this book.
Reads Like a Childrens' Book October 25, 2002
9 out of 13 found this review helpful
I can't stand it when I read a book that sounds like it's for a 5 year old. The way the text is written insults my intelligence. Virtually no references are provided to support the claims and recommendations that the authors make. I suggest checking out Kilmer McCully's books for a more informative reading session.
 Dr. Castelli's Book Made Our Recommended Reading List August 19, 2001
17 out of 19 found this review helpful
When William Castelli speaks, the heart community listens. Dr. Castelli is the long-time director of the famed Framingham Heart Study, and as such is an undisputed expert in this field. His book, Good Fat, Bad Fat; displays his expertise in a way that is easy to read and easy to comprehend. This is one of the best books ever written about heart disease prevention, and is at the top of our recommended reading list at Heart Risk Evaluations.
