[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 184813, member: 15043"] As far as I know most studies show that having a higher LDL decreases the chances of a cardiac event. LDL is extremely important. It’s also very important for the immune system, and probably other things we’re not aware of. I personally don’t like my LDL going below 200. I’ve never come across a doctor that’s more invested, interested, and has such a great grasp and understanding of cholesterol and lipids as Dr Paul Saladino. I’m not saying to believe everything he says as gospel, but if anyone’s interested in hearing the best explanation and understanding of LDL and how it actually interacts in the body, go check him out. I’ve heard so many doctors and experts talk about cholesterol before, but have never heard one come close to understanding it at the level he does. Bottom line tho, as far as I understand it, LDL can cause issues in the concurrent presence of insulin resistance. Without insulin resistance, LDL is greatly beneficial. He has patients that have an LDL as high as 600, with zero cardiovascular disease. LDL is not to be feared. It’s been framed. Insulin resistance, excess sugar intake, excess unhealthy oil/ fat intake, processed foods and inflammation are the main causes of cardiovascular diseases, not healthy fats and high LDL. [/QUOTE]
