There apparently are some people with very high LDL levels who don’t experience adverse cardiovascular events. Must be a genetic difference in metabolism. But please don’t encourage other people to not take statins if they’re prescribed. That wouldn’t be a responsible thing to do. BTW, a locally well-known athlete died here last week at a youngish middle age of a heart attack.
Roughly 25% of all heart attacks occur to people with low LDL.
Conversely, as you stated, many people with high LDL’s never have a problem.
Likewise, most people that smoke never get lung cancer. Does this fact support more smoking?
The flaw in logic here is the fact that people take the exception and apply it the general.
It’s a common and often tragically wrong way to approach a situation that deserves more careful thought and study.
