I have a coworker who is VERY proud of his ultra-high HDL-C and corresponding ratios, induced by what he says is a “very healthy” clean meat-based diet. His HDL-C is 105 but his LDL-C is close to 350!!! His LDL-P (a similar bio marker to ApoB) is > 3500 which basically means he exceeded the upper bounds of the test.
Thanks, and yikes! I think it's important that we don't let our egos (eg, pride) get attached to our interpretations. The body is still far more complex than we know, despite how much we are learning. My guess is often that in some areas we are still planting picks somewhere in the tip of the iceberg ;)
ApoE 3/4 > Thanks in advance for any responses made to my posts.
