Outside of emergency lifesaving surgery, I have never seen any intervention come close to the breadth and depth of benefits that a nutrient-dense diet comprised of plant foods provides. The comprehensive information supplied by this book will empower patients and physicians to make healthier lifestyle choices. The End of Heart Disease may just save your life.

What distinguishes the excellent medical opinion from the mediocre is the synthesis of an accurate analysis of the scientific literature with sound clinical judgment. Science alone is not enough. Regardless of their field of expertise, a great doctor can separate the proverbial wheat from the chaff when it comes to application of the continual barrage of medical research to the clinical setting. Dr. Fuhrman is one of those unique clinicians. The gift Dr. Fuhrman has shared with all of us, with the publication of this great work, is not only his brilliant evaluation of the medical literature but also descriptions of the seminal clinical work that have helped him, and now us, understand which nutritional approaches actually work to decrease the risk of heart disease.

For more than a quarter century I have battled heart disease in the cath lab, watching young people suffer and even die. No more! The End of Heart Disease lays out the science and steps to prevent and reverse the epidemic of heart disease. This must-read book will be required for every one of my patients and family. The End of Heart Disease has taken a giant leap forward with the plan.

The End of Heart Disease explains the downsides of conventional medical approaches in treating heart disease and evaluates the most effective diets designed to promote heart health. This well-crafted book uses evidence-based science to clear some of the misconception that media generates about nutrition, and to describe easy-to-do lifestyle changes that everyone should make to regain a healthy heart as well as adding longer and better-quality years of life.

Todays standard diet has resulted in an epidemic of coronary artery disease, obesity, and hypertension. Medications do not address the root cause of these diseases. Dr. Fuhrmans Nutritarian diet-style is a natural human diet that leads to health optimization and reversal of many diseases. In his latest book Dr. Fuhrman demonstrates an evidence-based approach, demonstrating the multiple cardiovascular benefits of this whole-food, high-nutrient, plant-rich diet. If one day this becomes the mainstream way of eating, society will become way healthier, happier, safer, and more productive!

A well-aimed shot across the medical bow of a system that swallows up 84 percent of our national medical budget mostly on managing the symptoms of our common chronic disease with pills and procedures without effecting a cure. Its a shot that needs to be heard around the world, to empower people everywhere to better understand Dr. Fuhrmans NDPR (Nutrient-Dense, Plant-Rich) diet, largely consisting of foods as grown as a safe and proven reversal strategy for heart disease and other lifestyle-related chronic diseases, where benefits often begin to show up within weeks, as published in peer-reviewed medical journals.

The End of Heart Disease is a must-read for all physicians and medical students as well as for anyone with a heart who wants it to continue beating! Fuhrman shares the extensive knowledge he has gained via thorough research and more than twenty-five years of helping patients reverse their disease processes. Its brilliant!

On page one, Dr. Fuhrman makes the bold claim that this nutritional program can make it almost impossible for you to have a heart attack. He then backs that claim with science. The facts are there; the choice is yours. A must-read for anyone interested in their heart health.

This book by Dr. Fuhrman is probably his best iteration and I see it as a game changer. I cannot overstate the importance of following his recommendations to the letter. Besides my experience using Dr. Fuhrmans methods on myself and with my patients, I have been reading hundreds of books by experts on the topic, but every time I read one of Dr. Fuhrmans books I find myself in awe and blown away once again by his honesty on one hand and his perseverance to leave a Fuhrmanian legacy that lingers on and on for generations to come. Spare yourself the platitudes of many other nutrition books and read the real thing!
