Summary of Caldwell B. Esselstyn Jr.'s Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in Western civilization. It is caused by the buildup of plaque in the arteries, which can be treated with drugs, clot-dissolving medications, and mechanical techniques that bypass clogged arteries.#2 The key to preventing heart disease is to stop eating the American diet, which is full of toxic foods. You must not consume oil of any kind, not a drop. You must not eat anything with a mother or a face, and you must not eat dairy products.#3 The changes that my patients have made have helped them save their hearts, as well as their lives from other diseases of nutritional extravagance. If you are eating to save your heart, you are eating to save yourself from other diseases.#4 Doctors are beginning to recognize the importance of diet in health, but they are not being incentivized to educate their patients about it. Modern hospitals offer very little to enhance public health, and are instead cathedrals of sickness.
