book on cholesterol and heart disease?

[Guest guest]

My mom buys into the mainstream dogma that high cholesterol

contributes to heart disease. Indeed, she has sent me link after link

to websites promoting a low (saturated) fat diet (but high PUFA)

diet. Is there any one good layperson (not so science-y) book that I

can stuff in her stocking to give her an alternative viewpoint?

I've read most of M.'s review of the predominant recent books

and he points out a different major problem in each of them. Which

*one* to choose?

I had thought of giving her either an Atkins book or " Protein

Power " (she just decided to do the Scarsdale low fat/low carb diet for

weight loss) but I'm not so sure they'd be well received (though I do

think she'd learn quite a bit). Maybe I'll just leave one of them " by

accident " at her house.

Help me get her off my back!
