[QUOTE="nickm, post: 2267295, member: 217514"] To quote from the link in the OP, this is the “ultimate debate” in “the LDL cholesterol debate” Huh? The lack of utility of LDL alone as a parameter of cholesterol for IHD prediction was first reported in the 50s, as good as proved in the 70s, and accepted by most doctors I know not long after that. The video is from Israel, a country reported to have poor diabetes outcomes. Was that to avoid stronger opposition elsewhere? Many people with diabetes are worried about whether they should take statins. I do not see this video helping with that question. Giving statins to everyone with LDLs above a certain level has not been an official recommendation in my part of the world for a long time. The video is far from the “ultimate debate”. Poorly constructed or straw man arguments concerning cholesterol may do no more than empower the pro-statin lobby. [/QUOTE]
