Ok, it's a complicated mechanism with lots of feedback loops. It isn't clear to me why changing the word form 'mechanism' to 'system' makes all the difference as for the purposes of discussing the human body they seem equivalent. Sure, there are lots of problems with heart bypass but the procedure is seen as a stopgap, to keep someone from dying sooner. Which unfortunately, is not always the case.

I'll interpret that as a 'no', you can't back it up.

From my side of the fence, it looks like you are fixated on low TRG, which (unless they are really high) have no place in the equation, and choose to ignore LDL all together.

I am not aware of any definative evidence, could you link it? As far as triglycerides, no, I am not overly attached to them but I do think it provides a good indicator of how your metabolism is running. High triglycerides indicate problems with carb metabolism and for various reasons discussed on this forum make it much more likely to have heart disease. (before you dig up some obscure, rare disease that raises triglycerides, I conceed that point, but for the 99% of all other causes...  ) High LDL is a much weaker indicator of this metabolism (a mechanism or a system?  ) but certainly is somewhat influenced. High LDL alone doesn't tell you much, e.g. high LDL with concurrent low triglycerides is not a problem.

It would be so much simpler if I could control peoples minds! It will be another 2 years before my first Orbiting Mind Control Laser is launched!
Kind regards
