CHOLESTEROL PROTECTION FOR LIFE ( jbialeck )
I have not yet read all of the pages, but so far what I have read was well worth the money. It is informative, interesting and life changing. I have already referred to the book for recipes and information on a dietary program to improve my life. This book makes sense!

 Questionable advice.
First, I should say that I believe that his diet is vastly superior to the standard american diet. However I think that both "The Mcdougall Program for a Healthy Heart" by John Mcdougall,MD and "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease" by Caldwell Esselstyn are both much better books for a number of reasons.
Fuhrman uses the native population of rural China where heart disease is rare to justify his program. However, he then recommends that you limit consumption of starches such as rice even though rice is the primary component in rural chinese diet. While Dr Mcdougal's program uses the same justification citing not only rural china(rice),but parts of mexico(corn), eastern Europe(potatoes), New Guinea(yams),etc, he recommends that you base your diet on these foods. Following Mcdougalls plan, my weight dropped to 155lbs and on my 1st blood test since starting this plan my cholesterol dropped to 167 from its typical 220-250 range after only a few weeks. A Whole grain based diet is both more satisfying and a lot less expensive than a vegetable based diet unless you are growing it yourself.
Dr. Fuhrman also recommends and sells policosanol. When I first found out that I had high cholesterol, I tried policosanol. After 6 months, my cholesterol went up 20 points. To the best of my knowledge, no studies outside of the cuban studies (funded by a company with a financial stake) have replicated the Cuban findings. If you cannot get your cholesterol low enough with diet and exercise and you do not want to take statins, then you should read "Reverse Heart Disease Now" by Stephen Sinatra,md. for advice on supplements.
I think that any low fat vegan diet (including Dr. Furhmans) will result in weight loss, low cholesterol and protection from heart disease. This book conveys that message far less convincingly than the books I cited above.
