However you do it, getting your fat under control changes the LDL quality to a healthier form.

There are various subclasses of LDL.

“However you do it, getting your fat under control changes the LDL quality to a healthier form.”

My understanding is that it’s the LDL Particle Size that determines the danger. Small Particles are the threat, larger ones are low risk. No doubt losing weight is effective, but the Small Particles come from carbs, so limiting carbs is also effective.

Anyway, at least they’re now talking about differences in LDL, which is a good thing...although it will take another 20 years to filter that down to the doctors.

This makes sense. It’s the quality, not quantity. Also raises the fire vs. firefighter issue, due to inflammation.

Obesity has a high correlation with many, many health problems...from COVID to Maternal Death and Infant Death and Lung disease and Heart disease and on and on.

Americans are more obese than other civilized areas and that is the #1 reason we have worse health statistics than others.

Although that could be debateable if you join substance abuse of all types of substance abuse.
