    The current guidelines overlook a lot of younger people, particularly women, with moderately high LDL. I chose to get treatment early rather than accumulate decades of atheroma. This way I can take a low dose and maintain a normal LDL over a lifetime, not wait until I have actual disease & then need super aggressive treatment. It is very inexpensive and I have zero side effects.

    I'm very confused buy the smiley chart for cholesterol where the lowest death is a cholesterol density of 200 to 240, below this and greater than this shows up higher risk of death rates of heart attack. Why does the cholesterol chart show lower death at these two points surely it should show it up at lower cholesterol points and then ramp up? Why is it giving you higher deaths at 110 to 180 compared to these higher cholesterol density then? What's your feeling on plant sterols? Are they beneficial for lowering cholesterol studies seem to show they are I'm not sure by how much and dose.

    Ho is it only 5 % by diet, when my LDL last year was less than 100, and this time it is above 130? It's about 30%, at least.
