I have never had a cholesterol or blood sugar problem; but I know that doctors are concerned about about the balance between LDL and HDL.

I’m simply saying that the doctor was very surprised by what he considered a very positive change in my friend’s numbers.

“but I know that doctors are concerned about about the balance between LDL and HDL.”


I know for a FACT that doctors don’t care about the balance of anything. They don’t know anything about LDL or HDL or the new (credible) marker Triglyceride/HDL and don’t want to know. All they are interested in is comparing your LDL to 100 (mg/dL) and pushing for statins. Lifestyle or diet, nah, not interested.

As a carnivore, I am fat adapted , use fat as fuel and am bordeline “lean mass hyperresponder” LMHR. So my LDL is around 300 (some LMHR are above 500!). Through the roof according to the mainstream cholesterol theory! For the work medicine doc, I should have been dead years ago.
When the cholesterol theory is disproven so spectacularly time and time again, how do you call it ?
