I did not know that about regular cholesterol checks. Tell me more.
advanced warfare: I haven’t played COD in a few years. Sounds like fun, good bonding with the son. My grandson 8 is teaching me fortnite. It is so kool watching him teach me the game.
On the cholesterol, it’s the small ldl particles that interact with the vessel walls causing inflammation and plaque buildup. The total cholesterol means very little. If you google NMR Lipoprofile test, you can read about how much better of a test it is. Also if you google cholesterol myth you’ll likely get some hits that go into how the original cholesterol study that started the low fat craze and doctors telling everyone to fear fat was done in multiple countries and they just removed any data that did not support their hypothesis. I may not be relaying this as accurately as I would like, but my memory is not the greatest. That’s the gist of it anyway.
Yeah my son kills the shit out of me when I play against him. He is a lot better than I am. I still enjoy it though.
Here’s my latest lipids. so none of this is useful? What tests should I ask for. I have no issues paying for test that mean something.
I get the NMR Lipoprofile done through labcorp. I think it’s a standard test that my insurance covers. The labs you have there are the regular cholesterol test. The NMR us much more meaningful because it does the counts. Believe it’s on my spreadsheet somewhere. The small ldl-p is the crucial one. If that’s a high count, it’s not good.

It’s the size that’s crucial to know. If you have a lot of the small ones, then those are the ones that interact poorly with the vessel walls.
