[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 2154009, member: 256617"] From the research I have done I glean the following: [LIST=1] [*]Diet heart Hypothesis is just that, it is not a fact and was borne out of 7 countries study, demonstrated to be show different results when 14 other countries were graphed. [*]LDL is required for repair and other hormone function. [*]Our bodies make circa 85% of the cholesterol we have, so why would this be trying to harm us. [*]Oxidised / damaged cholesterol is the danger. [*]Possibly small cholesterol particles are a problem, mainly alleviated by LCHF which generally produces fluffy bigger particles. [*]Older people, particularly women seem to have better outcomes with higher cholesterol. [*]There has been alot of cover up of studies that show no benefit. [*]Benefits are shown in relative risk terms, with never a significant result in absolute terms (absolute terms are the common sense numbers that ordinary people expect and understand). [*]Vitamin D is intimately intertwinned with cholesterol, as are reproductive functions. [*]Statins add I believe 5 more days of life under the following conditions: [/LIST] [LIST] [*][SIZE=16px]A stroke or heart attack has already occurred[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=16px]The statin is taken for several years[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=16px]A CAC scan is far superior to guessing with statins[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=16px]HDL and Triglycerides are weighted as much more significant than LDL in most modern CVD checkers[/SIZE] [/LIST] I would not go anywhere near this money making ..........
