Cholesterol is a healing molecule. S*x hormones such as testosterone, estrogen and progesterone, and other steroid hormones such as cortisol, vitamin D and aldosterone are made from cholesterol. LDL is a lipoprotein made by the liver to deliver cholesterol to peripheral organs/cells so that cellular membranes may be repaired and hormones can be made. LDL should not be decreased. But rather lifestyle changes and targeted nutraceuticals should be used to help the liver make large, buoyant LDL.

CT Coronary artery calcium scoring informs as to the degree of calcification in arteries of the heart, if present. It's a better measure of cardiovascular risk than LDL number.

If the CAC score is elevated-- treat the underlying cause-- which is often insulin resistance and high inflammation. Not the LDL number itself.

Blaming LDL is like blaming a house fire on the Fireman who responded to put out the flames.
