Everything you want (or need) to know about Heart Attacks!
27 June, 1999

From Ace Inhibitors to the Zutphen Study on fish diets, Dr Cutting's book really does cover everything you want to know about Heart Attacks and how to prevent them. Whether you read the book from the start as I did, or just dip into the chapters which most concern you, I guarantee you'll end up reading it all.

All aspects of Cardiac illness are explained, including risk factors, drugs, cholesterol, food you should eat - and food you shouldn't eat, exercise, smoking, and blood pressure. The explanations are detailed but clear and the conclusions are listed as bullet points. The comprehensive index makes it easy to find the item on which you want information, or re-assurance.

The recipe chapter gives a varied array of ideas for healthy meals, from the absolutely basic to the quite sophisticated, and there's even a section on kid's food.

The book is written in a light, humorous and readable style, punctuated by cartoons by Maddocks. The main points in each chapter are summarised and highlighted in boxes, while action points remind you of what to do next. Dr Cutting's book is a must for anyone with a family member at risk of a heart attack - doesn't that mean all of us?

wish I'd read this years ago
This is a highly readable, humourous and motivating book with a very significant message. It's changed my whole perception of how we in the West eat and how we're eating ourselves into an early grave, or years of ill-health. It's as if previously I'd heard some of the information but failed to take it on board , but having read this book you can't fail to reassess what you are doing to your arteries.Dr Cutting backs up his arguments with research evidence and although his recommendations are quite radical , they are presented in such a convincing way that you feel able to take action. Brilliant!

A brilliant and exciting book.
This brilliant book is an essential buy for the "healthy" as well as those who suspect they have a heart problem. It really gets to grips with issues of life style change and it opens out possibilities of an exciting new way of living which really maximises personal well being. And it's very funny. And it's full of understandable and useful information. If you're looking for a heart book or just a really good read I'm sure you'll love this one just like I did. It's irresitible.
