GRB, your lipid panel and the NMR is so perfect, a 1:1 Trig:HDL being Optimal, I can't believe you or your doctor is giving the LDL a second thought!

Doesn't any doctor read the new cholesterol guidelines? ...


"LDL (bad) cholesterol
A low LDL cholesterol level is considered good for your heart health. However, your LDL number should no longer be the main factor in guiding treatment to prevent heart attack and stroke, according to new guidelines from the American Heart Association. For patients taking statins, the guidelines say they no longer need to get LDL cholesterol levels down to a specific target number. "

Statin makers might be catching more users with that crazy Risk Assessment tool, but LDL is not supposed to be the guiding factor anymore!

The guideline recommends statin therapy for the following groups:

People without cardiovascular disease who are 40 to 75 years old and have a 7.5 percent or higher risk for having a heart attack or stroke within 10 years.
People with a history of a cardiovascular event (heart attack, stroke, stable or unstable angina, peripheral artery disease, transient ischemic attack, or coronary or other arterial revascularization).
People 21 and older who have a very high level of bad cholesterol (190 mg/dL or higher).
People with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes who are 40 to 75 years old.


You are a healthy weight, exercise, and have OPTIMAL levels of the cholesterol components that matter...the LDL-C formula is off base anyway when Trigs are below 100. (Remember, it is ONE formula, with FOUR variables, ONLY TWO of which are Measured. http://www.zoeharcombe.com/the-know...mpletely-wrong/). This is the article you should read on your quest for cholesterol knowledge

You should indeed feel great about all those results..Relax and have some HWC.
