How to have a heart attack in 10 easy steps

If you would like to plan a heart attack in your future, here are some easy-to-follow steps to get you there in just a few short months or years:

1) Follow a low-fat diet.

2) Replace fat calories with “healthy whole grains” like whole wheat bread.

3) Eat “heart healthy” foods like heart healthy yogurt and breakfast cereals from the grocery store.

4) Use cholesterol-reducing plant sterols.

5) Take a multivitamin to obtain all the “necessary” nutrients.

6) Take the advice of your doctor who declares your heart “in great shape” based on your cholesterol values.

7) Take the advice of your cardiologist who declares your heart “like that of a 30-year old” based on a stress test.

8) Take a statin drug to reduce LDL and c-reactive protein while maintaining your low-fat diet.

9) Neglect sun exposure and vitamin D restoration.

10) Limit your salt intake while not supplementing iodine.

There you have it: An easy, 10-step process to do your part to help your local hospital add on its next $40 million heart care center.

If you would instead like to prevent a heart attack in your future, then you should consider not doing any of the above.

    Dr. Davis
    I sure wish I could find the truth for Apoe 3/4 people. I get conflicting reports about fats. I have spent the last 3 mo. researching and can see that your info is good for most people. What about us? I know that efa's are important to help ward off alzheimers, but I have been told that I can't process them and should count them in my daily fat allowance. Also Berkleys research showed that omega 3 helped all heart patients except APOe 3/4. What am I going to do? Yvonne

    Hi, Yvonne–

    We will be having some conversations about the influence of Apo E genetics on dietary considerations in a future Track Your Plaque discussion.

    For the question about cereal for breakfast, use cooked brown rice or other whole grain cereal, gluten free if necessary. Put it in the crock pot overnight with grass fed pastured milk, butter, honey and nutmeg or cinnamon. Or crock pot it with delicious bone broth and some animal fat. Add some lovely pastured cream and butter in the morning and a few bananas or berries, depending on the flavors you have going. In the morning, just spoon it up and enjoy.

    Next day if you have time, after it congeals in the frig, slice and saute it in bacon fat or butter until the edges are crispy. Serve with a couple of over easy pastured soy free eggs. MMMM!

    Dear Dr. Davis,

    I'm new to your blog, which I find very interesting and full of what appears to be insightful comments and recommendations. I also find your "unorthodox" stance in many issues very refreshing. I would like to know:
    1.have you published research backing the advice you give on your blog?
    2. have your work been peer reviewed?
    3. could you, please, let me know where I can find them?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Dr. Davis,

    I really appreciate it if you could provide an answer to my previous comment regarding research backing your advice.

    Thanks!

    Dear Dr. Davis,

    I'm extremely disappointed you haven't answered my question regarding your research, either in this forum or via e-mail. I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, otherwise I would have to conclude that your advice is baseless and does not carry any scientific weight.

    most of the stuff makes sense, but what is the issue with multi vitamins?
