Alot of questions surrounding the lipid hypothesis, so I asked another poster in a different thread:

Hi Trog,
What, in your opinion, is the most useful measure(s) of cardiac health?

Agree. But I was relieved to see that my HDL and Trigs did not continue to get worse.

I'll get the VAP/NMR done in Jan when I feel my diet change has had time to be reflected (just so you...

09/30/11
Total 183
Trig 120
HDL 39
LDL 120
VLDL 24

ok then. I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers. I simply posted see if there were any opinions on where the results might be. Just for fun (you all still know what that is?). Its not that I'm...

Is it really that much of a stretch if my HDL comes in at 50 and trigs 80 to assume things are better (or good enough to go off statins)? Conversely if my HDL is 25 and trigs 250, not so much?

I just did this a 6 weeks ago.

Agian, taking the advice in this thread, I'm going to wait to do the full blown tests until the first of the year. Only doing the...

I was not planning on doing a NMR or VAP test until my lipid panel was more in line. Could my LDL be type A with my trigs through the roof and my HDL sub 40? I'm just assuming I'm type B until I...

Probably going to get shit for this but I'm getting my blood work done tomorrow. I have a cardiologist appointment on 10/07 and really want to see enough improvement for him to take me off the...

Me too, MaLink. Exactly why I posted this here. I did find this explanation from Dr Davis (Cardiologist - author of "Wheat Belly"):

Seriously, nobody? This is a very good watch even though it completely contradicts Primal.

Has this been discussed here? If not, what are your thoughts after watching this?

Also Peril, since you and I fit into this group, do you take statins? Are you planning to (or when did you) stop?

Anyone have a guess as to what effect the statins are having on my #'s? Looking at the last panel before I took them my trigs were 148 and my vldl was 30. Three months later my trigs went to 203...

I did. He is referring to total cholesterol, which I'm not at all concerned with. Except that mine is most likely too low @ 159.

Just started doing a fish oil supplement. Been doing low dose aspirin, pravistatin, a daily multiple with lycopene, and b12.

I have no idea at this point. I've said before I'm new to this. Are you suggesting the above is wrong?

I think its pretty undisputed that HDL = good and Trigs = Bad.

Hi Peril,
I would really appreciate if you could provide some detail on the above.
Thanks.

I found all of those. But I'm interested in something from outside sources.

I read all of those. Was hoping for some external sources. My wife (chemistry/biology teacher) is questioning this. She's sick of me only referencing one source.

Does anyone have links to studies that explain why saturated fats are superior to PUFAs and MUFAs?

Thanks.

Also - Just a quick thank you to all that are helping. While I am a newb to this and some of it is really hard to comprehend it means alot that you all are trying to help!

I had a pretty extensive test in May. It was a stress test where they injected me with some kind of radiation. My insurance EOB has it labeled as:
CAT scan MRI & NMR
