Thanks for the link Nancy, it's a great article except for their equivocating on saturated fat. I have absolutely zero desire or willingness to take statins since they have never been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack or mortality in women. I don't mind my LDL going up a little if it meant that HDL and triglycerides were moving in the right direction..I just don't like seeing LDL double itself in a year. I am hoping that the next round of testing will show that it's benign, as I suspect. I will let you and Lisa know when I have results.
