[QUOTE="TucsonJJ, post: 184796, member: 40106"] Well, we disagree, which is fine. I posted an article above #12... IMO, after a LOT of research, I believe that cholesterol will NOT form plaque in arteries if INFLAMMATION is not present. If it did, everyone, no matter how healthy, would have arterial clogging. IF LDL just naturally formed arterial plaque, even in the absence of inflammation, it would form no matter your cholesterol levels... it doesn't, IMO. I personally do not have any (as of '17 CT score), even with years of 180 LDL, 230+ total cholesterol and a very high small particle count. I have much better numbers now. LDL is useful and necessary... it HEALS inflammation by coating it... if inflammation persists... the "healing" coatings grow thicker and thicker... thus: Plaque. Even with great total and LDL numbers... most of those with serious inflammation WILL clog up. Inflammation is not often checked, in my experience with MANY Docs... I have to ask for the C-reactive protein test. Homocysteine is not as reliable. [/QUOTE]
