Best video I have seen on what your cholesterol numbers really mean.

This doc does such a good job explaining the numbers Total, HDL, LDL , Triglycerides, and VLDL than i have ever seen wow. And why statins are not good and how they do nothing to reduce the VLDL just LDL the fluffy kind which is not a good thing as they are not the ones you want to reduce and the mechanism how statins do this.

My lipid numbers are

TOTAL - 181
HDL - 46
LDL - 124
TRIGLYCERIDES - 60

VLDL - 11 WAS NOT ON THE TEST, BUT I USED HIS METHOD TO CALCUALTE IT AND ITS THE BAD DENSE TYPE AND RANGE IS 5-40.

That video is both correct and somewhat misleading. He leaves out the fact that if you do have CAD, which an enormous number of people do and it usually starts when they are young, then the research shows that cholesterol matters. Accurate besides that omission.
