am I reading this right?
I went to the link you posted....and this is what they said:

Normally, people focus on their total cholesterol level. But studies show that even among people with the same cholesterol level, those who have lots of large cholesterol particles have only about a third the risk of having a heart attack as those who have mostly small particles.

Then at the end of the article:
Quote:
|
Doctors say you can make your cholesterol particles larger through a low-carbohydrate diet, exercise and medications, including niacin. Researchers are already working on a drug that would both lower cholesterol levels and reduce particle size.

(Italics are mine)
Does this make any sense????
If the big ones are better, why would they want to reduce their size???? |
