Comments on: My morning horoscope and HDL http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/uncategorized/my-morning-horoscope-and-hdl/ A critical look at nutritional science and anything else that strikes my fancy.

If the medical experts have it with HDL levels and their correlation to high fat foods my husband would have dropped dead on the worksite as an aquaintance did two weeks ago, who is significantly thinner than my husband and probably had a meager diet. I follow the food pyramid and if I cut anything out ; the processed canned goods go first. They say less this and less that but in actuality your'e getting more of something else or alot of nothing.

And this is based on what research? What training? What reading of the medical literature? Or maybe you’ve taken care of thousands of patients on diets, that’s it, right?

Or is it just your opinion based on the fact that you just feel that way?

If so, thanks for sharing.

As Evista was previously found to lower total cholesterol by 7% and the dreaded LDL by 11%, Eli Lilly spent huge sums to prove that it would lower heart risk. It ends up showing (again) that lowering LDL does NOT reduce heart risk, despite all propaganda that low LDL is the magic cure.

Thanks for the information! I learn so much reading here. That does help explain (besides the exercise I did) why my HDL skyrocketed on the Atkins diet - my fat intake was fairly high. My HDL went from 45 to 74, driving my total cholesterol up a bit because the LDL dropped by less than the HDL rose. If fat drives HDL up, what is it about exercise that also raises it? Woohoo!
