This is a revised edition of the "bible" for those seeking a heart-healthy diet, reflecting the latest scientific and nutritional studies. It deals with the new-found concern about women and heart disease, explains HDL and LDL cholesterol and what the numbers really mean. It also discusses other new developments such as coronary regression, the benefits of aspirin, and lifestyle factors versus genetics. It dispels recent food myths - that shrimp is unadvisable, alcohol is unhealthy and ground turkey is better than ground beef, and shows how to make full use of the amazing low-fat food products that were unavailable ten years ago. Along with the revised text came Bernie Piscatella's 200 new and revised recipes, all of which are at least 10% lower in fat than the originals.
