The HDL LDL hype has got everyones attention.
Less is better for LDL and More is better for HDL. Right? Or is it
the other way around? LOL.
Anyway;
Exercise, Eat your veggies, and keep your weight down seems the best
and cheapest way to go.
CURIOUSLY, THE WSJ HAD AN INTERESTING FACTOID THIS MORNING:
HALF OF ALL HEART ATTACK VICTIMS DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR
BLOOD LIPIDS OR HIGH CHOLESTEROL BEFORE THE ATTACK!
This raises the real possiblity that heart attacks are more related
to artery wall inflammation!
Perhaps, cholesterol is really just the "patch job" done after the
artery wall has burst because of some "sudden" inflamatory reaction.
Some have said that finding cholesterol near a blood clot is like
finding a fireman near a fire!
Do firemen "cause" fires?
Does cholesterol "cause" blood clots?
Curious....very curious.
