LB, From a fat composition viewpoint, a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids and saturated fats, and low in hydrogenated trans-fats and perhaps monounsaturates, is therefore most beneficial for Lp(a) reduction. As I have been saying for a while, I will have a good laugh when we go full circle and declare lard to be health food... Alcohol, i.e., ethanol provided by alcoholic beverages, reduces Lp(a) in a dose-dependent manner: the more you drink, the more Lp(a) is reduced, up to 57% reduction, Not bad. I have to remind myself to have at least a glass of red wine every night. I still need to go shopping for some Pinot Noir from Oregon or New York State. Joe

For those interested in high Lipoprotein(a), please go to www.lipoproteinafoundation.org One if five people globally have high Lipoprotein(a) and it is the strongest genetic risk factor for coronary heart disease. The vision of the foundation is to live in a world where high Lipoprotein(a) is routinely diagnosed, treated and family screened. Our mission is to reveal this hidden risk for early cardiovascular disease; educate and empower patients and save lives. 50% of the people who have a heart event have normal LDL-C there is so much residual risk. Based on the evidence-based data, high Lipoprotein(a) is inherited and diet and exercise have little or no impact on it. The foundation is advocating for more research in this area.
