On Feb. 27, 2012, Nutritionist Johnny Bowden, PhD and I appeared on the popular television talk show, The Doctors. In the episode, entitled “Guilty Pleasures Jeopardizing Your Health,” Dr. Bowden and I talked about how eating too much sugar can place you at much greater risk of developing heart disease than having high cholesterol or eating saturated fat might. We discuss the sugar threat and other heart disease risk factors in much greater detail in our new book, The Great Cholesterol Myth.
