Description: Based on cutting-edge genetic and cardiac research, Eat Fat, Be Healthy identifies a hidden cause of heart attacks in outwardly healthy people. Dubbed the "HeartStopper Gene" by the author, the gene can make people on preventative low-fat diets more vulnerable to heart attacks and cause serious consequences for heart patients following traditional medical dietary advice.

Bayan, who suffered a massive heart attack at the age of forty-five, is among the 20 percent of heart attack victims in their thirties and forties who carry the "HeartStopper" gene. Working closely with medical professionals researching the phenomenon, Bayan developed an effective, targeted treatment program that includes a diet higher in certain kinds of fats, medication (including large doses of niacin), exercise, and stress management.

Bayan explains how the gene can be detected through a simple blood test, provides information on discovering the fat content of a wide variety of foods, and presents charts to help readers monitor their fat intake. At once a fascinating medical memoir and a practical handbook, Eat Fat, Be Healthy is must reading for anyone concerned about their cardiac health.
