Message: <blockquote data-quote="bulkbiker" data-source="post: 2526716" data-attributes="member: 219467">The "prevailing" view is that "high LDL" requires treatment with statins.There appears to be little to no evidence that "high LDL' per se leads to more CVD or death. That LDL is usually only calculated and is not a figure that is included in any of the heart health risk assessments is quite telling. Oddly enough LDL is impacted by statin treatment.. however it seems to not make people live much longer if at all and as with all drugs there are some quite unpleasant side effects. Many of us have decided that the "prevailing view" is incorrect as is the prevailing view that T2 diabetes should be treated with a diet high in carbohydrate.  You are an example of the latter but seem unwilling to share your success.</blockquote>
