Heart Disease Bulletin

What your physician may not tell you ...
                    ... because s/he doesn't know.

1. Most people who die of heart disease have low or average blood cholesterol.
2. Lowering your cholesterol below 200 will not protect you from a heart attack.
3. Eggs and butter do not raise blood cholesterol.
4. Refined sugar -- not cholesterol -- causes heart disease.
5. Trans fatty acids in margarine and vegetable shortening promote inflammation and deadly blood clots in the arteries.
