 Highly informative and useful March 22, 2008
This book contained a lot of great information. It began by giving a layman's understanding of why we need cholesterol and what too much LDL cholesterol does to our bodies. Dr Cooper then explained a variety of ways to lower the LDL cholesterol without drugs; ways other than just diet and exercise. I came away with a much better understanding of the cholesterol problem than when I started the book.

If you are like me and cannot take 'statin' drugs, you will appreciate the information in this book. It may tell you some things you already knew, but it also focuses on the natural approach. I think this book is a good reference book for anyone trying to combat inherited high cholesterol and wants alternatives to prescription drugs. I lowered mine from 330 to 220-still high but oh so much better.
Excellent guide to those who want to improve their diet, lower cholesterol June 6, 2007

Benecol Smart Chews, Caramel, 120 Soft Chews
In addition to taking products like Benecol to lower cholesterol (and, by the way, Benecol is not a medication, but tastes like candy with the benefit of plants), this book can help give you guidelines for lowering your cholesterol and perhaps help you prevent the use of statins.

This book helped me in some ways, but it was not a simple book to read. I felt that there could have been more information on the exact foods to eat to lower the cholestrol. I will not be using it as an reference
A great introduction to "functional foods" September 26, 2004
14 out of 15 found this review helpful
For over 30 years, Dr. Ken Cooper has been a trusted source for insights into health, exercise, and heart disease. Despite its release in 1999, Dr. Cooper's book remains a persuasive and detailed introduction to the use of so-called "functional foods" and "nutriceuticals" to lower cholesterol. These included stanol/sterol esters in butter substitutes, soy products, Phytrol, and oat bran. If you have high cholesterol (LDL or total) and you're unaware of the power these strategies, you've got to read Dr. Cooper's book to get up to speed.
Dr. Cooper's book is also the only other book on the market besides mine that discusses how heart scans can be used as a part of your heart disease prevention program. Although the discussion is only 3 pages long, he details how this exciting technology is proving to be among THE most powerful tools available for detecting hidden coronary plaque.
Only one criticism: Dr. Cooper's discussion of causes of heart attack beyond cholesterol is too brief and you'll have to turn elsewhere for more information. (In all fairness, much new data has become available since publication of this book.) Nonetheless, Controlling Cholesterol the Natural Way remains a principal reference for people who wish to augment their health program with powerful nutritional strategies.
