It is the HDL/TRI ratio that is critical NOT LDLs
Since yours is good stay AWAY from the statins
My wife has longevity in her family —She is now 73 her LDLS are high but her HDLs and TRIs are great
Doc tried to get her to go on statins over 10 years ago
She told him NO WAY
My grandmother lived to be 95 or so. She was overweight and I can only imagine what her cholesterol readings were.
I don’t think that my insurance will cover a consultation with the dr to just discuss the topic but I certainly will look into this other test the other FReeper mentioned next time I’m in for a cold or stitches on a sliced up finger :)
