Predictors of Heart Disease – Is Your Doctor 24 Years Behind the Times?

If your doctor even utters the word cholesterol they are at least 24 years behind the times.
“The amount of vitamin E in the blood stream predicted the risk of heart disease with 62% certainty cholesterol’s predictive value was only 28%. When vitamin E and cholesterol were used together the predictive value rose to 83%. Beta-carotene, vitamin C and E gave an 88% predictability. Adding cholesterol to this made no change!”
From The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 1991
