A Food Guide to Lowering Blood Triglycerides: 4 Simple Steps

Editorial Review:

"It must be emphasized that author Yuchi Yang is not a "nutritionist" (a word that, like the label "all-natural" on food products, has no legal meaning whatsoever); she is a registered dietitian, who has earned her credentials through accredited study, internship, and practice. A Food Guide to Lowering Blood Triglycerides: 4 Simple Steps lives up to its title as an accessible, user-friendly guide with step-by-step, week-by-week recommendations. A Food Guide to Lowering Blood Triglycerides... is highly recommended an extremely useful supplemental resource for anyone seeking to lower their blood triglycerides on the advice of their doctor." --Midwest Book Review
