Cholesterol Conundrum Short – Know Your Metrics

Following up on the Conundrum seminar, there were requests to do a shorter video focussing on the metrics themselves and clarifying conversion factors etc, so I just put one together; again note that this is not medical advice, but rather science and engineering inference.  That said, grasping the content in this video should enable a much

Omega 6 and Businessmen’s Hearts…

China Cholesterol Cunning – THE RATIOS REIGN

A post on the Chinese Study I referred to on my last FB item; I thought this Chinese piece was a well-executed effort, that yet again illustrated the key role of ratios in determining risk, and the dangers with inference from Tot Chol and/or LDL-C.  In the absence of a particle count to determine LDL-P,
