Did You hear About This MAJOR BLOW To The INCORRECT Lipid Hypothesis?

The National Cholesterol Education panel stated that consistent and complelling evidence showed a strong relationship between LDL cholesterol level and cardiovascular risk.When researchers went searching for this "compelling" evidence they found " no clinical trial subgroup analyses or valid cohort - or case control analyses suggesting that the degree to which LDL cholesterol responds to a statin independently predicts the degree of cardiovascular risk reduction"In other words NO EVIDENCE FOR THE CURRENT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LDL REDUCTION
You can see it all here in the October 2006 issue of The Archives Of Internal Medicinehttp://annals.org/cgi/content/full/145/7...Are you aware of this?
Answer:
cholesterol,You didn't quite get it right, which means that you got it wrong. Here's how that abstract ends:"Clear, compelling evidence supports near-universal empirical statin therapy in patients at high cardiovascular risk (regardless of their natural LDL cholesterol values), but current clinical evidence does not demonstrate that titrating lipid therapy to achieve proposed low LDL cholesterol levels is beneficial or safe."What this means is "If you have high cholesterol, lowering it works, and everybody can prove it. Getting it as low as current recommendations propose does not have supporting evidence."It does NOT say what you say it says, that lowering cholesterol does not work or that the "cholesterol hypothesis" is disproved. It clearly says that lowering cholersterol works in people with high cholesterol. You may also want to look at this issue of the same journal: 18 September 2001 that says:"This article reviews the pathophysiology of this disorder, focusing on the changes in lipoprotein particle number and composition rather than lipoprotein lipid levels. The in vitro and in vivo evidence that small, dense LDL are more atherogenic than normal larger, buoyant LDL is summarized, and the particularly high-risk state conferred by increased numbers of small, dense LDL is delineated."Which says that some forms of cholesterol are worse than others, causing athersclerosis.The Annals of Internal Medicine nowhere says that the "lipid hypothesis" is wrong. Nowhere.Sorry about that.

What about HDL and vLDL? Any information on that? I still think following a heart healthy diet and maintaining the recommended ratio of LDL/HDL is a good idea in patients with or at high risk for cardiovascular disease.

The article I gave you cited by COLPO shows THAT THERE IS A COMPLETE DISCONNECT BETWEEN DEGREE OF LDL REDUCTION AND CARDIOVASULAR RISK REDUCTION

LFL REDUCTION IS NOT THE RESPONSIBLE FATOR AND THE RESEARCJHERS CLEARLY STATE "THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT EVIDENCE LDL REDUCTION EXPLAINS THESE BENEFICIAL EFFECTS"The Lipid Hypothesis is PROVEN FALSE BY

SOORY about that but YOU are MISinformed
IT IS INVALIDread this good
The fact that coronary atherosclerosis gets worse JUST AS FAST OR FASTER WHEN CHOLESTEROL GOES DOWN AS WHEN IT GOES UP the OPPOSITE of exposure response ABSOLUTELY SHOWS THE LIPID HYPOTHESIS IS FALSE

As usual, your statements are only half truths. You cite only the parts of articles that back up your theories. Your lack of independent medical knowledge shows clearly.Get it through your head. The"great" Colpo is in a league with the guy who thought that his cult would be saved by a UFO hiding behind a comet.

Sigh... I have tried and tried to get it across to you. You keep quoting Colpo and parts of some studies that support you. You frequently fail to read and/or understand the full study. You ignore anything that contradicts your pet theory.
