Cardiovascular surgeon, Dr. Dwight Lundell’s book, The Great Cholesterol Lie, has sold in 21 countries world-wide to astounding appreciation and gratitude.
Since heart disease is the number one taker of human life, a tremendous amount is written but the author of this book walked the walk by performing 5,000 open heart surgeries spanning 25 years.
Forthright and honest, we see through his eyes as he held those hearts and what he saw in the arteries of every patient on his table – arterial inflammation.
The book exposes the tragic cholesterol theory and how it was born of faulty research that lacked scientific fact from the day it began over 40 years ago. With profit from statin drugs $33 billion dollars last year, this theory has 33 billion reasons to stay alive.
Written with great simplicity, we learn how eliminating saturated fat in favor of low-fat dietary recommendations has led to an epidemic of heart disease, inflammation, obesity and diabetes.
How tragic and sad that the very foods manufactured to comply with the cholesterol theory are now causing huge health epidemics.
So, then, what causes heart disease? Dr. Lundell says emphatically, “inflammation.“
And once you read these chapters, you’ll be armed with the information you need to take control of your health:
- Shattering The Cholesterol Theory – In The Midst of An Epidemic
- We’re Burning Up From Inflammation
- The Biology of Heart Attacks
- The Carbohydrate Craze, Low-Fat Diets And Inflammation
- Fighting Fires Of Inflammation
- Living Healthy And Happy In A War Zone
- Bandages For Heart Disease-Stents, Surgery and Statins
In Chapter 6, Dr. Lundell gives his clinically proven recommendations to bring inflammation back to healthy levels while Chapter 7 teaches us how to eat in restaurants and fast food chains safely by knowing which foods to avoid that create inflammation.
The amazingly simple steps to prevent and reverse heart disease outlined in this wonderful book will help you take control of your health, eliminate statins (or never take them) while your body knows well-being you haven’t felt in years.
As Dr. Lundell states, “Anyone and everyone reading this book has more power to prevent and reverse heart disease than I ever did as a heart surgeon. I am just the doctor standing by to help.“
An amazing book by an amazing surgeon who want to help you heal your heart!
In all the books written about heart disease, this is the only one written by a surgeon who spent 25 years actually doing the surgery!

Hi Jennifer,
I wish your question could be answered that easily. No physician can do so without seeing you personally. I encourage you to sign up for Dr. Lundell’s free report, Inflammation, The Fire Within. You’ll find great information in this report.
Thank you – I have a question though. I’m confused as to the difference in approach between your ideas and those of Dr. Esselstyn. Why the difference? It’a a big difference – no oil! Why should I follow Dr. Lundell’s recommendations or Dr. Esselstyn’s. This is my health and life here, it’s important! And now I find a difference in opinion in that I would say is the “cholesterol is not the problem” camp. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
A question to ask yourself is, if statins reduced heart disease, then why has heart disease soared to epidemic proportions year afte year. Much is now available in science that inflammation causes heart disease. A Google search will return much information to help you.
How much is the book? I am on a very limited income, but my heart is really showing me problems. So I am sure the book would be of great interest to myself, and even my Doctor.
