Interesting read about the functions of cholesterol in the human body
The Cholesterol Puzzle by Jill D. Davey is a book about the importance of cholesterol in the human body.If you have high cholesterol levels by medical standards, your doctor will probably prescribe cholesterol lowering medications like statins to prevent heart attacks. In this book Jill D. Davey states that excessive cholesterol is not the primary cause of heart attacks and gives a detailed explanation of the importance of cholesterol in the human body. She presents Dr. Dzugans findings about the counterproductive effects that cholesterol lowering statins have on our health. It is not necessarily in our best interest to lower cholesterol with statins for a number of reasons. For example cholesterol is an important building block of hormones that keep our bodies running smoothly. It is also important for the regeneration of the nervous system. I learned that cholesterol levels change as we age and healthy levels vary widely from person to person.At the end of the book Jill D. Davey presents Dr. Dzugan's bioidentical hormone restorative therapy for optimal health and longevity, as practiced in his clinic. This therapy is highly individualized, depending on blood tests and personal health history. Although I have learned a lot about the role cholesterol in the human body, I was expecting to read more about Dr. Dzugan's bioidentical hormone therapy. You actually have to become his patient to find out. Also, there is no mention about general steps that can be taken at home to achieve better cholesterol levels, like making targeted food choices or taking certain supplements. This I why I give this book 4 stars.I received a copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This is not an easy book so it is difficult to me to criticize or approve what is written inside, but it was still interesting to consider the cholesterol from a new point of view, and the statine also!Questo non é un libro facile quindi non me la sento di criticare o approvare quanto c'é scritto, ma comunque é stata una lettura interessante anche perché mi ha fornito un nuovo punto di vista sia sul colesterolo che sulle statine.

Not what I was expecting. A little too long and dry in the presentation. I ended up skimming in a few places.
