[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 2005725, member: 256617"] For those in the UK who have had their records put online, you may have noticed that LDL no longer has a limit (it was there around 3 years ago). LDL is one of the weakest links to heart disease, especially when HDL is high and Triglycerides are low. If LDL is high and the other 2 markers are not great then, further investigation is warranted. High circulating insulin, high blood pressure, obesity, low HDL and high triglycerides trump LDL in terms of risk profile. [/QUOTE]
