[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1634826, member: 6467"] Accepting that you are not from around here, I still can't make head or tail of your post, apart from some derision about diet and an enthusiasm for statins (I think). You will note that a slight imbalance between LDL and HDL triggered a clinical warning on the surgery system in March, but a re-balancing between HDL and LDL (mainly a reduction in LDL) removed the concerns and the results were considered fine. That re-balancing was through diet alone. Given that it consisted more of egg and bacon than avocado and beans, diet and exercise seems to be effective. I am reasonably sure that I don't have Familial Hypercholesterolemia because I have a couple of friends of approximately the same age as me who do, and they have both had major cardio-vascular interventions already. As far as I can tell my vascular health is fine, including a recent scan for aortic aneurysm (age related standard check) which showed that my artery walls were fine - at least in that area. So high cholesterol (at least at the levels I posted) don't seem to be a major health issue. Time will tell, of course. Statins, however, are the Devil's work. [/QUOTE]
