I think the association between low LDL and increased stroke risk has been known for some time.

According to Dr Ornish it is the RATIO of TOTAL to HD that is important

4.0 or lower is excellent

Seriously, this study makes a LOT of sense to me. My family, from elderly to the kiddies, all have high cholesterol. We all love fruits and veggies, and food in general. Everyone lives into their 90s. There have been 0 heart attacks and no strokes other than a few mini-strokes in the upper 90 years in one of two of them.

I have never understood the whole cholesterol-lowering thing.

You need some cheese and chilly on top of that!

If you’re gonna have a bacon sandwich on white bread, everybody knows that the bread should be fried in the drippings first.

Now, all you need to complete the sandwich is: Skippy Extra Crunchy Peanutbutter on both sides, with a tall glass of cold milk./Just Asking - seoul62........

There are people who can eat anything and have no problem

They are NOT in the majority and citing them as examples is NOT productive to a healthy life style

The majority of people need to watch their diet as far as intake of trans and saturated fats

Again it is the ratio of Total to HD and the HD number that is critical-—if your HD is below 40 you have a PROBLEM if the ratio is 4 or below you are OK
