I've come to the conclusion that noone really knows for sure how cholesterol works...Ken also says that these sub fraction tests are no better/no worse than the HDL/Trig ratio.

Ken, Dave, Siobhan and Ivor have a pretty good idea. And Malcolm is tip top on the whole shebbang.I've come to the conclusion that noone really knows for sure how cholesterol works...
Nothing warrants loading your body with toxins like statins unless you are one of the very small minority withThe only thing that I haven't found a clear answer for is whether this amount of Small Dense LDL warrants trying a statin (probably not I imagine) and whether or not statins will actually lower Small Dense LDL.
But Ken Sikaris says statins DO reduce small dense LDL and truly help those with familial hypercholesterolemia
I'd love to hear your experiences!
So would you feel confident in recommending, to your wife say, who had a previous heart attack and had been put on statins by a consultant that she should stop as they were were toxins?Nothing warrants loading your body with toxins like statins unless you are one of the very small minority with
familial hypercholesterolemia. Cholesterol is not the problem in any of its types!

A resounding YES especially as they are even more toxic to women than men! Lowering cholesterol in women especially over the age of 50 is tantamount to attempted murder.
I didn't make up my example, my wife did have a heart attack and was prescribed statins amongst other things. She would be unlikely to take my advice, based on Internet reading, over a professional opinion but I wouldn't give it anyway, how would I feel if she had another attack? My wife has been taking statins for several years now and she doesn't have any obvious side effects, what she also doesn't have is the continual worry that she might have another attack due to not following professional advice. It's quite different dealing with a real person to making an anonymous statement on an Internet forum.A resounding YES especially as they are even more toxic to women than men!

Watch this space! As to "There are many many health care professionals out there who recommend statins to their patients with the best intentions" Remember the maxim "The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions."That is a very strong statement, and one with which I strongly disagree.
There are many many health care professionals out there who recommend statins to their patients with the best intentions and in the belief (because that is what they have been trained to understand) that statins will help the patient.
If you are going to accuse people of attempted murder, please provide exhaustive and conclusive evidence of it.
However, I recommend that if you have any such proof then presenting it on an internet forum is inappropriate. You should present it to the police.
