[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 387812, member: 13582"] Ian, It depends on what outcome you are looking for; it would seem that the ideal male level for all cause mortality and heart disease is about 5.6 mmol/l - have a look at these graphs from Kendrick's blog. [url=http://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2012/09/25/silence-was-the-stern-reply/]http://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2012/09/25 ... ern-reply/[/url] Don't forget thought that your cholesterol levels are mainly unaffected by what you eat; it's your liver that controls the cholesterol levels in your blood. Triglycerides however will come down markedly if you stop eating starchy carbs. What is particularly interesting about that link is that if you are a woman then your all cause mortality will increase the lower your cholesterol levels are! Still think that it's a good idea for women to pop statins? Best Dillinger [/QUOTE]
