How Many of These Deadly Fairy Tales Do You (and Your Doctor) Still Believe?CAUTION: Ignorance may be very hazardous to your healthWhy has the number of heart attacks increased by 27 percent over the past 20 years? What's going on here?Don't we know more about how to prevent heart attacks than ever?Haven't we been swallowing our statins, lowering our cholesterol, and eating fat-free foods?Could we be mistaken about some things?Dr. Michael Mogadam certainly thinks we are. His research -- proven by his amazing success with even high-risk patients -- is turning conventional wisdom about heart health upside down.Word is getting out.

But the medical community is slow to change.That's why, if avoiding a heart attack or stroke is important to you, I want you to be among the first to know...

The 10 Biggest and Deadliest Heart MythsMyth #1 -- Heart disease and heart attacks are an inevitable part of aging.Myth #2 -- Cholesterol is the main cause of heart disease and heart attacks.Myth #3 -- Blood pressure drugs help you avoid heart problems and live longer.Myth #4 -- Aggressive, "type A" behavior increases your risk of a heart attack.Myth #5 -- Low-fat, low cholesterol diets are good for you and your heart.Myth #6 -- Any exercise is always good for your heart.Myth #7 -- There are two kinds of cholesterol: Good and bad.Myth #8 -- You should eat less salt.Myth #9 -- You should lose weight if you're "overweight."Myth #10 -- There's no way to absolutely, positively avoid a heart attack.If you believe any of these outdated fairy tales, this Special Report will be a real eyeopener. And possibly a real lifesaver.
Because the truth is...Truth #1 -- Your risk of a heart attack does NOT have to increase as you age. (In fact, keep reading and you'll learn how to completely eliminate it!)Truth #2 -- Most people who die of heart disease have low or normal cholesterol levels. Focus on cholesterol and you can easily overlook much more important risk factors. Truth #3 -- Blood pressure drugs usually don't help you live longer or lower your heart attack risk (unless you follow the advice in this Special Report).Truth #4 -- Being an aggressive, "type A" personality is perfectly harmless to your heart. But certain overlooked emotions do skyrocket your risk.Truth #5 -- Low-fat, lowcholesterol diets are even worse than useless (and so depressing). They can actually harm you. (We'll tell you how.)Truth #6 -- Strenuous exercise can actually increase your risk of heart disease by 10,000 percent.Truth #7 -- There's good, good cholesterol and bad, good cholesterol. Likewise, there's bad cholesterol and REALLY bad cholesterol. (Many die because they don't know this information.)Truth #8 -- Only some people benefit from eating less salt. Eating too little salt can actually be harmful.Truth #9 -- Likewise, only some people considered "overweight" really need to lose weight for their heart health. It depends on one factor.Truth #10 -- You can absolutely, positively eliminate any risk of a heart attack for yourself and those you love
