Thanks for bringing this article to my attention. I bought the magazine today for the express purpose of reading it.
It is a huge step forward even though it implicates cholesterol in the cardio-vascular disease process, because the cholesterol migrates to the scene of the inflamation. The inflamation being the primary cause of the chain of events leading to the cardiovascular disease.
It makes a strong point that C-Reactive protein is another strong indicator for the disease. Lost somewhere in the body of the article is the statement "Investigators have yet to explore the connections between other risk factors with the intensity accorded to LDL,(understatement of the year, Oldsalty) but they have uncovered suggestive links. Diabetes, for instance, elevates glucose levels in the blood; this sugar can enhance the glycation, and thus the inflamatory properties of LDL,"
Since our way of eating is expressly designed to control our blood sugar it sounds as though we are on the right track.....
Thanks again for letting me know about the article.
PS I just noticed that there is a 2 page advertizement in this edition for, you guessed it !...Zocor..so much for the impartiality of this scientific journal.
