I was just reading Dr Davis's blog and he addressed a comment that was left about another post. In this post, he talks about the LDL, triglycerides issue:
Quote:

Re: LDL cholesterol of 89 mg/dl at the start. Of course, this is a calculated value, not measured. Because HDL was low and triglycerides high at the start of his program, this means that true LDL--if actually measured--was probably more like 180 to 250 mg/dl, and it was probably nearly all small. So his cardiologist might have advised a helpful treatment, though for the wrong reasons.

The rest can be read here . Dr Davis recommends getting your HDL, LDL and Triglycerides to 60/60/60 to reverse coronary plaque. I agree with him on the HDL and Triglycerides, but figure at those levels LDL is pretty much meaningless...but then again, I'm not trying to reverse plaque, just keep it away. |
