Hope Im posting this in the right forum - did conside posting this question on the low carb / high fat diet sub forum but wasn't sure.
Could someone explain (or link me to a good and well explained relavent web page post).
I have done some very quick research on the subject and depending which sites I read a number of different calculations are used. Some just seem to look at Total Cholesterol and LDL levels, Others are looking at the Total Cholesterol /HDL ratio and HDL/LDL ratios etc.
Whats important here and what are the 'normal ranges' again various reference info I have from Drs state different ranges?
Confused and hoping for some clarity
Thank you
Morty
