Sugar Beat: How Sugar - Not Cholesterol - Destroys Arteries and the New Science of Reversing Plaque

"For decades, doctors have blamed cholesterol for heart disease. Sugar Beat makes the case they've been measuring the wrong thing. Written by Dr. Anthony Jay - biochemist, genetic consultant, and author of Estrogeneration - Sugar Beat argues that insulin resistance, not LDL cholesterol, is the primary driver of arterial plaque, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic decline. Drawing on coronary artery calcium scoring, inflammatory biomarkers, and emerging genetic research, the book reframes what it means to have a "normal" lab result - and why normal is quietly killing people. Sugar Beat delivers a three-tier action protocol built around your actual cardiovascular risk, not population averages. Readers learn which biomarkers matter (and which are being oversold), how genetics shapes individual carbohydrate tolerance, and what dietary and lifestyle shifts produce measurable changes in the markers that predict disease decades before symptoms appear. This isn't another low-carb manifesto. It's a systems-level argument - with the science to back it up"--
