High cholesterol does not cause MI... Plaque buildup in the arteries does. High cholesterol is a risk factor and can lead to narrowing of the coronary arteries which is called coronary artery disease. The HDL/LDL/vldl ratio is important to know.

I'm not arguing with you. Can you explain what you are saying?

I thought everyone knew high cholesterol is a risk factor for coronary artery disease. 190 is high. This is fact. No insult to you intended.

Cholesterol is only one risk factor 190 is not high either my is around 200-210 as well. If the doc is recomending meds he seems to be pushing sales for a rep imo. MM

There are many options to get ldl down before you step up to meds. I would try some natural options before I jump on the statin train.

I thought it was a little high, at least higher than I expected, considering what my diet is. I did not get a ratio, only total, so I guess that would have painted a better picture.



Thank you, John. Like I said, it was higher than expected, but I have zero knowledge of what the actual ramifications are. I can only speak to what I've one heard from sensationalized media. Your articles and opinions have changed my views on MANY things. I've found the price foundation to be an incredible resource to say the least



Was wondering about this. If ones free test is in the high to high-normal range, but ones total test is in the low to low-normal range, does that mean that person is "OK"? If you bump total test, does that automatically bump free test? Could you have high total, but low free? Would any doc consider hormones for a person with low total, but normal free?

bump. cannot find this info anywhere.....help me out

Biggest scam ever. They keep lowering what's normal so they can have everyone on deadly meds.
