[QUOTE="forty six, post: 677918, member: 72202"] [SIZE=4]I found this very interesting and he does explain things clearly, but it still doesn't answer the main question for me which is should we be focussing as much on the breakdown of these lipoproteins anyway. This all depends if you agree with the [U][B]current[/B][/U] thinking by the medical sector (who are largely financed by the pharmaceutical companies). The descriptions of how our arteries become damaged and therefore eventually lead to heart disease are not always explained correctly. The picture of a tube filling up with fat is not how plaques form in arteries and is misleading at the very least. Dr's seem to forget that science marches on and what may appear to be correct one day is not the next, after all mercury was frequently used to cure all manner of illnesses as were leaches. The professor himself says that LDL has become demonised - it does after all serve a purpose and is only a particle in the blood not your total cholesterol. I feel that I want more evidence before agreeing with our medical profession. After all I would not buy a car after reading one review and especially if that one was paid for by the manufacturer. Having read the whole of the article by Zoe Harcombe I now know that giving me a scientific estimate based on suspect percentages has done nothing for me except make me question everything I am told. I trusted this test and now I don't. All my other tests came back perfectly normal including blood pressure so I will wait for my next blood test in a couple of months and go from there. I do however thank you for the links and the comments.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
