[QUOTE="sokaiya, post: 183714, member: 31435"] If LDL reacts with sugar it becomes oxidized, and now this LDL becomes somewhat demented and has nowhere to go because it can't dock anywhere. The issue is when you have a small dense LDL not the regular LDL. These broken/demented LDL boats are floating around and eventually get picked up by the arterial wall. Then inflammation comes in and does its job. Then the white blood cells come in and form this foamy puffy area and that's what's going to give you a heart attack or a stroke not the LDL itself. The way to properly sort this out would be with a fractionation test. Or just take the standard lipid profile and analyze that: E.g. if HDL is within a decent range that's good, and triglycerides are low, that's also good, and if your Hba1C is reasonable like <5.6, then you can almost guarantee that LDL is high because it's good LDL. At the end of the day, CVD is Multi-factorial. To think that there is ever a SINGLE cause for anything is myopically stupid. [/QUOTE]
