It turns out <br />people like Alan and Lyle are right about the cult mentality.

I wonder how many more years it'll be before doctors look at cholesterol particle "quality" rather than quantity? I gather that an ApoA:ApoB ratio test is more relevant to heart health than LDL, HDL & TG, but it's not routinely done here (I got it done once, by request).<br /><br />Cheers, Nige.Nigel Kinbrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368973941328529619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174025374821038087.post-70809324458404409852010-02-28T18:54:16.344+00:002010-02-28T18:54:16.344+00:00Omega 6 fats oxidize LDL and oxidized LDL is the m...Omega 6 fats oxidize LDL and oxidized LDL is the main driver of plaque growth. The liver recognizes oxidized LDL as a poison and thus try to remove it from the blood stream. That poison removal process reduces LDL levels.<br /><br />Taking Omega 6 fats to reduce LDL is like taking arsenic to cure a cold.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208548778259311459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174025374821038087.post-3797969755383573362010-02-28T15:44:33.872+00:002010-02-28T15:44:33.872+00:00Hi Dexter.
