I'm in the ignor camp, but that's just me. It's been over a decade since I had my cholesterol checked. Whether or not any of the various cholesterol numbers mean anything important seems to be a big unknown. Then, if they mean something important is there anything useful we can do about it? Also an unknown. What seems clear to me is that statins are a dangerous drug. I took Lipitor for a while and developed severe disabling joint pain. Stopping the drug stopped the pain and it has never returned. I'm hitching my wagon to a low carb diet and not worrying about saturated fat. Each of us has to decide for ourselves what is worth worrying about and what isn't. To safeguard my health I choose not to ride a motorcycle or climb MT Everest along with a few other precautions. I also look both ways before I cross the street.
