Thank you Nancy

I post this for those looking for answers to questions similar to these above.
So, an answer to my first question concerning spike in total cholesterol and LDL after shifting to higher fat uptake can be found in:

Current Atherosclerosis Reports
2005, Volume 7, Issue 6, pp 455-459
Influence of dietary carbohydrate and fat on LDL and HDL particle distributions
Patty W. Siri PhD, MS, Ronald M. Krauss MD
http://link.springer.com/article/10...1883-005-0062-9

Just from conclusions:
"Saturated fat intake has been associated with increases in large LDL, monounsaturated fat with increases in large HDL, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (particularly omega-3 fatty acids) associated with larger LDL and HDL"

So there is nothing that I should be worried about.

Also here (From one of Nancy's signature's materials, I guess :agree :

I found that my case is nothing extraordinary.

Acording to my second question...yes I'll print some articles from you Nancy, translate them for my Girlfriend's Dad, since English is not our mothertongue and hopefully he won't have any doubts about statins any more

Anyway, again thank you for your help Nancy
