The New York Times bestselling author of Eat to Live, Super Immunity, The End of Diabetes, and The End of Dieting presents a scientifically proven, practical program to prevent and reverse heart disease, the leading cause of death in America - coinciding with the author's new medical study revealing headline-making findings. Dr. Joel Fuhrman, one of the country's leading experts on preventative medicine, offers his science-backed nutritional plan that addresses the leading cause of death in America: heart disease. An expert in the science of food, Dr. Fuhrman speaks directly to readers who want to take control of their health and avoid taking medication or undergoing complicated, expensive surgery, the two standard treatments prescribed today. Following the model of his previous programs that have successfully tackled conditions from diabetes to dieting, Dr. Fuhrman's plan begins with the food we eat. He focuses on a high nutrient per calorie ratio, with a range of options for different needs and conditions. He shows us what to remove and what to add to our diets for optimum heart health, provides menu plans and recipes for heart-healthy meals and snacks, and includes helpful questions for doctors and patients. By understanding heart disease and its triggers, Dr. Fuhrman gives us the knowledge to counter-attack this widespread epidemic and lead longer, healthier lives.

I haven't read his other books but I am pretty sure the diet he recommends here is essentially the same as in those books. This book does have a lot of cardiovascular information. He talks a lot about the shortcomings of medical treatments for cardiovascular disease. He discusses other diets. He has almost nothing good to say about the paleo diet - at least it avoids refined carbohydrates! He has good things to say about Ornstein and Pritikin diets though.
The nutritarian diet here is essentially vegan, though he makes room for small amounts of meat for people that really want it. For sure zero sugar and other refined carbs, including honey and other natural sweeteners. No added oils.
Some of what Fuhrman presents gets a bit speculative, based on limited research. Some seems a bit narrow - he can't seem to imagine why anyone would need supplementary salt, but anybody into endurance cycling, for example, knows that added electrolytes are essential. But this is not a book for endurance cyclists!
Really though, the key to transforming our broken medical system is surely preventative medicine, starting with diet and exercise. This book outlines the path to a bright future. ( )
