LDL particle number seems to be getting a lot of scrutiny lately. Small particle size especially. What the final conclusion health-wise will be IDK, but when someone does low-carb and sees a lot of these little guys show up that weren't there before, it can appear worrisome. Going back to high carb low fat doesn't seem good because that raises LDL due to metabolic disorder which sounds even worse, but some people react to certain fats such as dairy with lots of LDL particles. I personally will probably at some point pursue testing this new idea of the fat globule membranes in cream versus not present in butter at some point to see if it makes any difference LDL-wise. Sam's Club in my area offers free health screenings second Saturday of most months which don't by any means test everything but offer clues to whether something's changed.
