Review

From the reviews:

“A. Stewart Truswell has written a very informative and at the same time entertaining and highly readable account of the nutritional epidemiology of CHD . I would strongly recommend this book . also be of considerable interest to epidemiologists, nutritionists, and public health scientists who are attempting to study nutrition and other diseases. Most importantly, this would be an extremely good book to research colleagues who doubt the value of good nutrition epidemiology research in the publics health.” (Lewis H. Kuller, American Journal of Epidemiology, Vol. 173 (9), 2011)

From the Back Cover

“Only once in a great while does a book come along that really does the job in addressing a major medical issue. When this happens, all can be joyful Readers will find ALL their favorite dietary puzzlements dealt with With consummate scholarship, clarity and brevity, Truswell sifts out the chaff and identifies the critical questions, the responsible investigators, and the key studies.” So says Emeritus Professor Henry Blackburn from the University of Minnesota in the foreword to this remarkable concise book on the history of research on diet and heart disease. This was a theme of scientific, medical and public interest in the 20th Century, a century marked by the rise and fall of coronary heart disease as the major cause of death in the first world, followed by the rise of this cause of death in the developing world. There is obviously much to learn, and this book is an excellent starting point, tracing dietary factors and their role in heart disease one by one: fats, sugar, salt, alcohol, coffee, trans-fats, etc. Without an understanding of the role of diet and the changes that have been seen in the North American and NW European diet, the story of the decline in the heart disease death rate may have been very different.

Scholarly books about cholesterol are rare. There are lots of popular books on diet and cholesterol, and there are books with angry titles like “the cholesterol lie” or “the cholesterol hoax”, but I am aware of only one recent single-author book that properly reviews the scientific data on plasma cholesterol, its determinants, and its effect on heart disease. That book is Steinberg’s “The Cholesterol Wars”. Unlike Steinberg, Truswell focuses on diet; his book covers most of the foods and nutrients that affect heart disease risk.
The writer is an insider in the diet-heart field. His publications span 50 years and cover a range of nutrients and diseases beyond diet and heart disease. Nutrition students and scientists may also know him as the author of several textbooks of nutrition.
The book consists of 32 brief chapters which tell the story of diet and heart disease, from the first rabbit studies in St Petersburg in 1908 to the rise and fall of coronary heart disease in Eastern Europe in the 1990s. However, this is not primarily a history book; the focus of each chapter is on a particular topic, e.g. Sucrose, Fiber, Coffee, Serum Triglycerides, or Critics and Sceptics. Topics go well beyond cholesterol, as shown by chapters on e.g. thrombosis, obesity and alcohol. Relevant statements are documented with references to the original research paper on which they are based. References extend to 2009, and number 887 in total.
Each chapter starts with a summary, and section titles in bold help the reader to follow the development of the topic. The longest chapter is that on salt and hypertension. At 17 pages, it does a good job at summarizing this controversial field. The text is internationally oriented, with a good sprinkling of British and Australian research.
