[QUOTE="covknit, post: 1481608, member: 346585"] It is the parameters for the ideal cholesterol that seem to be lacking. Insofar as my limited trawl through the www has produced any date so far I have arrived at the following targets. Total cholesterol >200mg dl <330mg/dl . I asked my diabetic nurse how I convert my readings to meet this target. She looked confused. Said she did not know but it was "American" and therefore not applicable to me. I have not got round to wondering about the differences between American and British genetics yet. And still do not know how to convert hdl/total ratio should be >24% . It is dangerous at <10% Small dense, fatty, oxygenated, rusty ldl <1 no SDLDL : >1.5 bad . >1.2 there is small dense LDL and trig/hdl ratio <2% : <1 = no small dense LDL [URL]http://www.hughcalc.org/chol-si.php[/URL] Then there is the question of whether I should target plant based fats as our bodies evolved to process animal fats. That is A bit of a rewording of Paleo and Harcombe. The old Olive oil v fatty meat. Is there a better method of determining the best diet than reviewing the diet v health outcomes of our grandparents and their family? [/QUOTE]
