Prevent heart disease the tasty way

For decades, low-fat and low-cholesterol diets have been touted as the way to prevent and reverse heart disease.

Try these great recipes, found in the book, and see how a diet low in sugar and other inflammatory foods with other key ingredients can help keep your heart healthy.
