Thank you for the info...... The cholesterol studies that have been done, I think, still heavily suggest lower total cholesterol, high HDL, and low LDL improve cardiac health. The" high cholesterol is good reports" are certainly worth considering but I think need more extensive experimental studies..... The conclusion in one or two reports that dropping values in older people is an indicator of earlier mortality can set a guy like me rethinking the strategy of reducing values as low as possible... six months ago after daily Lipitor doses of 40 mg, my numbers were the lowest I ever experienced and I thought the sudden large drop was suspicious, eg LDL dropped to 40 from the previous 70. Total chol. remained about 150 and HDL was steady at about 59... So after those results I cut the Lipitor dose in half and just had a blood test this week....will get the results on Tuesday... There is a very large study published the Lancet which includes many thousands of people, hundreds of thousands in fact, and those results still support the conclusion that lowering the three values is good for cardiac health..... thelancet.com
