Actually, the cholesterol theory of heart disease is nearly dead.

Yep, however the ratio of HDL and Triglycerides has been found to be a good predictor.

There are currently no drugs that can reverse low levels of HDL

This is not true. Niaspan ER (Niacin) is well known to raise HDL levels.

“There are currently no drugs that can reverse low levels of HDL”

I never said that. You must have me confused with another poster.
