38 What do Leading-Edge Experts Say? Cholesterol and Disease Experts are called Lipidologists One of the USA s foremost is Thomas Dayspring, MD, FACP, FNLA, NCMP Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine, Director of Cardiovascular Education 1) The majority of Heart Attacks are due to INSULIN RESISTANCE 2) LDLc is a near-worthless predictor for cardiovascular issues* *(people with LDLc above 200mg/dL, or 5.3mmol/L are rare )

39 What do Leading-Edge Experts Say? Cholesterol and Disease Experts are called Lipidologists One of the USA s foremost is Thomas Dayspring, MD, FACP, FNLA, NCMP Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine, Director of Cardiovascular Education unless LDL levels are very high (7.8 mmol/l or higher), they have no value, in isolation, in predicting those individuals at risk of CHD - William P.

Cholesterol and Disease Experts are called Lipidologists One of the USA s foremost is Thomas Dayspring, MD, FACP, FNLA, NCMP Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine, Director of Cardiovascular Education The [Total/HDL] RATIO was found to be a better predictor of CHD than TC, LDL, HDL and triglyceride -- not only in the Framingham Study, but also in the Physician's Health Study and many other studies. 2) LDLc is a near-worthless predictor for cardiovascular issues* - William P.
