This special edition Betty Crocker's most popular cookbook is now part of a national program of heart health for women and their families.

For more than 75 years, Betty Crocker has earned a reputation as the name readers most trust for culinary advice through cookbooks, magazines, radio and television. Increasingly Betty Crocker has published cookbooks focused on women's health, cancer, cholesterol, low-carbs, diet, exercise and well-being. Betty Crocker has now partnered with WomenHeart, the national coalition for women with heart disease, to promote awareness of this vital issue. The result is an expanded new edition of Betty Crocker Cookbook: Heart Health Edition. The cover features the widely recognizable red dress logo, the national "red alert" symbol for women and heart disease awareness. Betty Crocker has made a donation directly WomenHeart, the National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease.

Eight million American women live with heart disease. According to Harris Interactive, heart disease is the number one killer of American women. ""Keeping our hearts healthy is like playing a card game," say the Editors of Betty Crocker in Betty Crocker Cookbook: Heart Health Edition. "Though we begin with whatever we're dealt, the game's outcome is greatly influenced by the skills we use and the choices we make-and perhaps, a little luck." This specially designed version features an all-new 32-page section that thoroughly explores heart health-amplifying why it's important to understand and incorporate information that will protect women and their families. Here is the most up-to-date advice from cardiologists as well as the latest nutrition data that can help anyone develop a life-long habit of good heart heath, including:

Risk factors and various heart diseases (angina pectoris, stroke, heart attacks).
How to identify the signs of a heart attack or stroke.
Risk factors you can change from quitting smoking to maintaining a healthy weight.
Advice on how to get started on the road to good heart health.

A collection of family-pleasing recipes that are heart healthy.
An index listing the more than 250 heart-healthy recipes in this classic American cookbook.
