OR, you can take my view, which is that the average doctor/average test tells us NOTHING.

Anything still based on Ancel Keys cherry-picked data is DANGEROUS to my weight and health, so why should I care what such a view thinks of cholesterol?

It's NOT about cholesterol, it's about inflammation. My autoimmune issues are a very clear indicator of how I am doing there My rosacea has gone away, my immune system has perked up, and my serious autoimmune becomes symptom-free when I eat this way.

I'm just not going to worry about eating this way.

So I simply go by triglycerides. DH's dropped by the hundreds when all previous efforts did not budge them.
