A Recipe for Health: The Truths You Should Know about Healthy Eating and Healthy Living $9.95 Prevent disease. Stay healthy. Improve well-being. Look younger.Contrary to popular belief, the road to wellness depends not on avoiding saturated fat and cholesterol. Health comes from constant attention to diet and lifestyle, constantly avoiding food and substances that can cause damage to our body and our cells. By the time disease has occurred, it is already late, even though much can still be done to achieve some degree of wellness.The tragedy is to subscribe to false beliefs constantly bombarded via endless propaganda by people and institutions with vested interest whose bottom line is profit and money. The established medical practice is an extension of this concept, merely the collection arm of powerful pharmaceutical giants.A Recipe for Health aims to provide you with essential information for your daily choices of diet and lifestyle in order that you achieve a satisfactory degree of wellness and prevent premature aging and death. The concepts are not found in conventional medical and nutritional texts.Dramatically improve your health and your wellness through inside information on diet, supplements and lifestyle–with Dr. Eng’s A Recipe for Health–The truths you should know about healthy eating and healthy living. |

A comprehensive dose-response study of the effects of pistachios on cardiovascular disease risk factors: A translational research approach integrating clinical nutrition and molecular biology. $49.99 Nut consumption reduces risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Few studies have evaluated the effects of pistachios on CVD risk factors and they have not evaluated dose-response relationships or lipid-lowering mechanisms. Nutrition studies with a translational research approach integrate clinical nutrition and molecular biology, allowing for the investigation of clinical responses and underlying cellular mechanisms. The present study utilized a translational research approach to comprehensively evaluate the effects of pistachios on CVD. We employed a randomized crossover controlled-feeding study to evaluate the effects of two doses of pistachios, added to a lower-fat diet, on lipids and lipoproteins, apolipoprotein-defined lipoprotein subclasses, and plasma fatty acids. To investigate mechanisms of action, we measured serum cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), indices of plasma stearoyl-CoA desaturase activity (SCD), and gene expression in isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Total cholesterol (TC), LDL-C, non-HDL-C, apoB, and apoB/apoA-I decreased after both pistachio diets; and triacylglycerol and plasma SCD activity decreased after the 3.0 ounce pistachio diet (P < 0.05). Pistachios elicited a dose-dependent lowering of TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, and non-HDL-C/HDL-C (P < 0.01). We evaluated the effects of pistachios on expression of genes related to inflammation and lipid metabolism (TNFalpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, ICAM, VCAM, CETP, and LCAT) in PBMCs. Furthermore, we investigated the relationship between diet-induced change in CETP expression and change in serum CETP and plasma lipids/lipoproteins. The pistachio-rich diets significantly decreased IL-1beta expression compared to baseline (P < 0.05). Change in CETP expression in PBMCs predicted change in LDL-C, NONHDL-C, TC/HDL-C, and NONHDL-C/HDL-C in individuals who were diet-responsive with regards to serum CETP. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that pistachios elicit beneficial |

Application of the Mediterranean-style diet principles to the American diet: Does a diet consistent with the Mediterranean-style diet protect against the development of risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus in the Framingham Offspring Cohort? $49.99 The objective of the project was to examine the relationship between a diet consistent with Mediterranean-style dietary pattern and the metabolic risk factors of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The objective of this project was accomplished using data from the Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort.;A Mediterranean-Style Dietary Pattern Score (MSDPS) was created to assess the conformity of an individual’s diet to a traditional Mediterranean-style diet. This continuously-scaled score (range 0–100), was based on adherence to recommended intakes levels from the Mediterranean diet pyramid and took into account over-consumption of foods and consumption of foods that are not on the Mediterranean pyramid. In 3030 participants, the MSDPS demonstrated content validity against nutrients known to be associated with the Mediterranean-style dietary pattern, including expected positive associations with dietary fiber, n-3 fatty acids, antioxidant vitamins, calcium, magnesium and potassium, and inverse associations with added sugar, glycemic index, saturated fat, trans-fat and n-6:n-3 fatty acid ratio.;The longitudinal association over 7 years (mean follow-up = 7 yr) between MSDPS and insulin resistant traits (HOMA-IR, fasting glucose, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, blood pressure) and incidence of metabolic syndrome was examined in 2,388 participants without DM and 1,820 participants free of DM and metabolic syndrome at baseline, respectively. The MSDPS was inversely associated with HOMA-IR (P-trend=0.02), waist circumference (P-trend <0.001) and plasma triglyceride (P-trend<0.001); and was positively associated with HDL-cholesterol (P-trend=0.05). A higher MSDPS was also associated with an 8% lower incidence of metabolic syndrome (P-trend=0.03).;In participants without DM or clinically evident CVD, the cross-sectional association was examined between the MSDPS and endothelial function, as measured by brachial artery |

Bad Medicine $1.99 The Problem? Bad medicine! It has been around for thousands of years. Patients have been poisoned, bled to death, dismembered, lied to, robbed, and purged since the first recording of history and, undoubtedly before that.Of course, modem medicine is quite incredible in many ways. Ophthalmic surgery, orthopedics, and emergency medicine are but a few of the examples of superb modern medicine. But ironically the bad has kept pace with the good. Some of my critics would consider that an exaggeration, but when you consider the deplorable situation in cancer therapy, for instance, it seems obvious that we are going backward in many areas.Of course many doctors are not consciously a part of the problem. Still, they have to survive in a system that rewards conflicts of interest, unnecessary treatments, and expensive, pointless diagnostic procedures, while practitioners of alternative, nontoxic therapies are persecuted and severely punished.This book is meant to counteract the massive propaganda on your television where over half the commercials are for one drug or another, some bogus diet plan, or an anti-cholesterol product that will give you the very disease you are trying to avoid. I hope you’ll find it useful. |

Baseline Diet Solution $9.99 The Baseline Diet is the definitive solution to perfect overall health and well being. This claim is not just measured on the scale; it is verified by using basic medical blood chemistry profiles that we should all be getting on a yearly basis already.The validity of any diet should be measured by these standards. Surprisingly, no diet to date has ever been able to produce what is automatically achieved when following the Baseline Diet. This is simply due to the fact that all diets to date do not agree with our bodies’ natural processes. In short, all diets to date are faulty in construction and therefore a 99% failure rate is expected. So what, one might be curious to know, are the basic measures that a diet produces when it is constructed to agree with our bodies natural processes? The Baseline Diet produces a set of seven expectations that naturally occur just as a result of being on the diet. They are:1. Turn off your hunger indefinitely.2. Lose as much weight as you desire, without plateaus.3. Lose weight faster than you believed was possible.4. Produce optimal cholesterol levels to the degree that cardiovascular disease will not be a factor in your life. By the way, it can be reversed if it already is.5. Eliminate high blood pressure.6. Reverse Type II diabetes.7. Gain energy levels you have not felt in years.These expectations are bold assertions, but they are easy to understand and prove as valid when we cut through the vast, contradictory, and often confusing information in the world of dieting. With the guidance of the Baseline Diet, you will discover ways to apply and rely on proven medical science that is readily available. The Baseline Diet is easy. When we follow a diet that agrees with our bodies’ natural processes overall health and well being is an automatic process. |

Cardiometabolic effects of a carbohydrate restricted diet and increased physical activity in men and women taking statins. $49.99 The effect of carbohydrate restriction and increased physical activity on statin treatment has not been examined. The objective of this study was to assess changes in LDL particle size, metabolic syndrome, and emerging cardiometabolic risk factors after a 6-week intervention. Twenty one men and postmenopausal women (mean+/-SD; age: 59.2+/-9.5 y, body weight: 89.2+/-16.8 kg, % body fat: 38.5+/-6.2%, body mass index: 29.52+/-3.03 kg/m 2) who had successfully lowered LDL-C with a statin (<130 mg/dl) were matched on sex, age, lipids, and type of statin and randomized to a very low carbohydrate ketogenic diet (LCD) or a low carbohydrate diet with increased physical activity (LCD+PA). Subjects received weekly dietary counseling from a registered dietitian and they were instructed to maintain body weight. Fasting blood and physiological measurements were taken at baseline, week 3, and week 6. LDL size was measured with non-gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and vertical auto profile ultracentrifugation. Food records (mean+/-SD; baseline: 2159+/-415 kcals, 45/36/20 %carb/fat/pro; intervention: 1739+/-481 kcals, 11/58/26 %carb/fat/pro), urine acetoacetic acid, and serum total ketones demonstrated dietary compliance. LCD+PA incrementally increased average daily steps using a pedometer, reaching 4,792 steps greater than baseline at week 6. LDL particle size (p≤0.05) and reactive hyperemia peak forearm blood flow significantly increased (p≤0.01) and TAG (-36%), insulin (-25%), systolic (-5%) and diastolic (-6%) blood pressure, body weight (-3%), and waist circumference (-4%) decreased. Change in body weight was not significantly correlated with changes in blood markers. There were no significant differences observed for total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, Lp(a), glucose, or flow-mediated dilation, nor were group differences found. These findings indicate that individuals on statin medication showing signs of metabolic syndrome respond favorably to a low |

Caution: Snake Oil $24.95 The headlines keep coming. Every day, we meet new health-related stories about prescription and over-the-counter drugs, medical devices and procedures, the lifestyle we should adopt, foods we should favor, and dietary supplements that would surely add years to our lives. Rightly, we dismiss much of this as pure snake oil. Mayonnaise prevents Alzheimer’s? Chelation therapy blasts away arterial plaque? Food coloring lowers bad cholesterol? Cinnamon clobbers diabetes? Grapefruit erases breast cancer? Watermelon slashes prostate cancer? Come on! But what about more serious-sounding claims? True enough, reports about ACE inhibitors and beta blockers, Advil and Motrin, 64-slice CT scans and PSA tests, drug-coated stents and the DASH diet appear to be far removed from snake oil, but false claims about any of these, this book asserts, are snake oil no less than absurd and fantastic claims about mayonnaise and Alzheimer’s. Consider how glowing press releases of one time, even by renowned medical journals or the FDA, are often followed by conflicting stories at a later time, which makes us ask: Will fancy cholesterol drugs save us from heart attacks or will they destroy our liver? Is the once-a-day baby aspirin the “cure of the century” or a stroke-causing hoax? Will Avandia fight our diabetes or give us a heart attack? “CAUTION: SNAKE OIL!” offers a remedy: If we care to separate bogus claims from the real thing, we must adopt the special way of statistical thinking that is routinely employed by the best of those who undertake the scientific studies that alone can generate medical knowledge we can trust. |

Cholesterol Lowering: A Practical Guide to Therapy $1.99 Over the past decade there has been a revolution in our understanding of hypercholesterolemia and its effect on clinical coronary artery disease. While a number of controversies and unresolved issues remain, the benefit of lowering blood lipid levels and, in particular, LDL cholesterol is firmly established. This handy practical guide takes this complex subject and puts it into context for the non-specialist. Summarizing recent clinical data, it outlines the basis for the current view that aggressive lipid lowering in selected individuals is an imperative in controlling coronary events. Opening with a general and broad introduction to the subject, this is followed by consideration of the biology and pathophysiology of the vascular wall, and a discussion of the basic science that underlies the impact of elevated LDL cholesterol on the function and patho-anatomy of the coronary arteries. Subsequent chapters review practical aspects of lipid management such as what to measure and when, patient selection and the role of diet and lifestyle in disease progression. Presented in a compact format for ease of reference, the general physician, general or office practitioner, trainee doctor and cardiac nurse specialist will find this an invaluable guide to be reached for frequently in the busy clinical setting. |

Cholesterol and Beyond: The Research on Diet and Coronary Heart Disease 1900-2000 $39.95 “Only once in a great while does a book come along that really does the job in addressing a major medical issue. When this happens, all can be joyful… Readers will find ALL their favorite dietary puzzlements dealt with… With consummate scholarship, clarity and brevity, Truswell sifts out the chaff and identifies the critical questions, the responsible investigators, and the key studies.”So says Emeritus Professor Henry Blackburn from the University of Minnesota in the foreword to this remarkable concise book on the history of research on diet and heart disease. This was a theme of scientific, medical and public interest in the 20th Century, a century marked by the rise and fall of coronary heart disease as the major cause of death in the first world, followed by the rise of this cause of death in the developing world.There is obviously much to learn, and this book is an excellent starting point, tracing dietary factors and their role in heart disease one by one: fats, sugar, salt, alcohol, coffee, trans-fats, etc. Without an understanding of the role of diet and the changes that have been seen in the North American and NW European diet, the story of the decline in the heart disease death rate may have been very different. |

Cholesterol, Atherosclerosis And Coronary Disease In The Uk, 1950-2000. $9.5 Cholesterol began to be accepted after the Second World War as a significant cause of atherosclerosis and associated conditions, such as coronary heart disease (CHD). This Witness Seminar, chaired by Professor Michael Oliver, discussed the increasing understanding of its basic science. Early epidemiological studies demonstrated the relationship between excess saturated fat consumption and elevated levels of cholesterol, although cholesterol alone did not explain all population differences among gender, class, or heritage. Work on lipoprotein metabolism pointed to the establishment of hyphercholesterolaemia as a major risk factor for CHD, culminating in the development of cholesterol-lowering drugs, particularly the successful statins, available in the UK from the early 1980s, and confirmed by randomized controlled trials. The role of diet in heart disease has remained controversial in the UK, notwithstanding the food industry’s introduction of functional foods such as cholesterol-lowering margarine. Later, recommended limits on the composition of dietary fat were agreed, and although extreme diets could reduce cholesterol, patient conformity remains difficult. Appendices on the diet-heart hypothesis and the development of lovastatin compliment the transcript. Contributors include Professor David Barker, Professor John Betteridge, Professor Gustav Born, Professor Richard Bruckdorfer, Professor George Davey Smith, Professor Paul Durrington, Professor David Galton, Dr Arthur Hollman, Professor Steve Humphries Professor Gordon Lowe, Professor Vincent Marks, Dr Paul Miller, Professor Jerry Morris, Professor Chris Packard, Professor Stuart Pocock, Professor Kalevi Pyörälä, Professor Thomas Sanders, Professor James Scott, Dr Elspeth Smith, Professor Anne Soutar, Professor Gilbert Thompson, Professor Hugh Tunstall-Pedoe, Professor Neville Woolf and Professor John S Yudkin.

We need both a measure of high cholesterol and low cholesterol, also known as LDL and HDL.

Eat Fat, Lose Fat: Lose Weight and Feel Great with Three Delicious, Science-Based Coconut Diets $12.99 The healthy alternative to trans fats, this revolutionary program explains why we must eat healthy, saturated fats-especially coconut-to achieve weight loss and good health. Since the late 1950s, it’s been drilled into Americans that fat makes you fat, saturated fats (such as those found in butter, eggs, and red meat) are unhealthy, and tropical fats and oils (like coconut and palm) are downright deadly. And yet-as we eliminate saturated fats from our diet for fear of high cholesterol levels and hardened arteries-obesity, heart disease, and cancer rates have continued to climb. Based on more than two decades of research by world-renowned biochemist and fats expert Dr. Mary Enig, Eat Fat, Lose Fat flouts conventional wisdom by asserting that so-called healthy vegetable oils (such as soybean and corn) are in large part responsible for our national obesity and health crises, while the saturated fats traditionally considered “harmful” are, in fact, essential to weight loss and health. World populations on four continents that subsist on the coconut, with less evidence of heart disease, weight gain, or other chronic illnesses, provide the best proof of this food’s safety and efficacy; dozens of studies conducted by prestigious, mainstream universities support the use of coconut and other healthy fats and reveal the faulty reasoning underlying the saturated fat/heart disease hypothesis; and case stories from a wide range of people illustrate how using coconut oil in concert with other healthy fats can spark weight loss and heal serious illnesses, including anxiety, hypothyroidism, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Featuring delicious recipes for each of its three nutritional programs, Eat Fat, Lose Fat is the book to help you build energy, lose weight, fight disease, and boost your immunity. |

Effect of carbohydrate restriction and American Heart Association diets on the clinical features of the metabolic syndrome, the inflammatory response and lipoprotein metabolism in young Emirati adults. $49.99 The incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in the UAE is one of the highest world-wide. The metabolic syndrome (MetS) characterized by central obesity, high blood pressure and dyslipidemias predisposes for the development of DM. The presence of MetS was assessed in a population of overweight/obese individuals by randomly screening 227 subjects, 18-50 (30.2 +/- 8.4 y), from Al-Ain city, Emirate of Abu Dhabi. 92 subjects (40.5%) were identified as having MetS. The most relevant clinical criteria associated with MetS were large waist circumference (WC), high systolic blood pressure and low HDL cholesterol (HDL-C).;Dietary interventions were conducted in 39 subjects. Initially, all individuals followed a carbohydrate restricted diet (CRD) with 25% energy from carbohydrate. After 6 wk, half of the subjects (n=19) were switched to the low fat diet (55% energy from carbohydrate) recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA group) while the other half (n=20) continued with the CRD diet for additional 6 wk (CRD group). Diet records indicated high compliance with the dietary guidelines. At wk 6, all subjects presented decreases in body weight (P < 0.0001), WC (P < 0.001), body fat (P < 0.0001) and plasma triglycerides (TG) (P < 0.0001). Significant decreases were also seen in plasma LDL cholesterol, blood pressure, insulin and inflammation markers while a significant increase in adiponectin was observed. After 12 wk, these positive changes persisted for all subjects independent of diet. However, body weight, plasma TG, insulin and plasma glucose were lower in the CRD (P < 0.05) compared to the AHA group.;The large atherogenic VLDL subfraction was decreased over time for all subjects (P < 0.01) with a more pronounced decrease (P <0.05) in the CRD compared to the AHA group. Medium and small LDL particles and apolipoprotein B decreased for all subjects (P < 0.01) rendering a less atherogenic lipoprotein profile. These studies indicate that CRD can |

Effect of dietary cholesterol on brain cholesterol in developing rats. $49.99 Cholesterol is a significant component of brain and is found in both neuronal membranes and myelin. All mammalian milks provide cholesterol during periods of maximal brain growth and myelination. However, infant formulas contain only traces of cholesterol. The purpose of this study is to determine if dietary cholesterol alters rat brain composition during development. Pregnant Long-Evans rats were randomly assigned (12/group) to a semi-synthetic diet with or without cholesterol. On postnatal day 1(P1), litters were culled to eight and weaned on P17. Litters received the same concentration of cholesterol as their dam from P17 to P32. On P32, pups were sacrificed. The left brain cortices were analyzed for cholesterol and protein concentration. Developing rats exposed to the cholesterol diet had an increase in left brain cortex size (p=0.003), cholesterol (p=0.006) and protein concentration (p=0.0005). Exposure to exogenous cholesterol increased brain cholesterol and protein concentration in developing rats.;Keywords: cholesterol, infant formula, brain |

Effect of varying the fatty acid composition of a carbohydrate-restricted diet on plasma fatty acid composition, blood lipids oxidative stress, inflammation and insulin sensitivity in men. $49.99 Background. Carbohydrate-restricted diets (CRD) consistently improve risk factors associated with Metabolic Syndrome (MetSyn). Recently, we showed that a saturated-fat rich hypocaloric CRD significantly reduced serum content of saturated fatty acids (SFA) and significantly increased arachidonic acid (AA) and the omega-6/omega-3 polyunsaturated (PUFA) ratio while significantly decreasing inflammation compared to a low-fat diet. This disconnect between dietary and circulating lipid lead us to explore how varying the fat composition of a CRD affects these variables, in addition to oxidative stress. Methods. Eight healthy weight-stable men (age 45 +/- 7.9 y, body fat 28.4 +/- 6.5%) were fed two eucaloric CRD varying in saturated fat and unsaturated fat with the same macronutrient distribution (12%en carbohydrate, 30%en protein, 58%en fat, 850 mg cholesterol) for 6 weeks each without weight loss. Similar foods were fed but CRD-SFA emphasized dairy fat while CRD-UFA emphasized olive oil, omega-3 fortified eggs, salmon, and walnuts. CRD-SFA provided almost twice as much SFA (86 g vs 47 g) and less monounsaturated fat (MUFA) and omega-6 and omega-3 PUFA than CRD-UFA, confirmed by chemical analysis. Fasting blood and 24 hr urine was analyzed at baseline and following each diet for fasting lipoproteins, insulin, glucose, inflammatory markers, fatty acid composition in plasma triacylglycerides (TAG), phospholipids (PL) and cholesteryl esters (CE), and urine 8-iso PGF2alpha. Results. Regardless of fat quality, both CRD significantly decreased TAG and insulin, and increased HDL-C and LDL particle size (P < 0.05). Despite increased total-cholesterol (TC) and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) after CRD-SFA, the TC/LDL-C ratio was not different between diets. Total plasma SFA in CE, PL, and TAG were unchanged after the CRD-SFA, and plasma PL and CE AA content was significantly increased. CRD-UFA significantly increased PL and CE EPA+DHA content and the PL omega-3 index. Inflammation was |

Femoral head disarticulation disorder in chickens. $49.99 Femoral head disarticulation (FHD) is an idiopathic degenerative metabolic disorder of proximal femoral physis leading to lameness in chickens. It can lead to infection in the growth plate causing femoral head necrosis and/or osteomyelitis. It is sporadically seen in meat-type chickens particularly in broiler breeders causing negative impacts on the performance. The clinical signs of this disorder are difficult to diagnose in early stages but can be noticed in later stages when the chickens are lame. There are no diagnostic tools or etiological markers that can be used to identify this disorder in early stages and necropsy is the only way to find this disorder. To understand the etiology and pathogenesis of FHD suitable experimental models are needed. A pilot field study was conducted in broiler breeders during genetic selection based on the proximal femoral head cartilage to disarticulate with applied mild pressure. This was the basis for categorizing birds with FHD proclivity. Serum analysis of six-week old broiler breeders with FHD and growth plate lacerations showed that cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglycerides levels were elevated. Therefore, experimental trials were conducted by feeding birds with high levels of fat and with either cholesterol or prednisolone injections during six weeks of age to induce FHD. Neither high fat diet nor birds injected with cholesterol caused any higher incidences of FHD. However, prednisolone injected chickens showed a significantly higher incidence of FHD and elevated levels of serum lipids. From these studies, it can be inferred that elevated lipid levels may be useful as surrogate markers for FHD susceptibility of chickens and prednisolone injected birds can be used as a model to study FHD in young chickens. |
