I think that the standard values for triglycerides and HDL/LDL ratios are not appropriate for some people, and that “high” cholesterol is not proven to be any specific risk without the effects of other factors like insulin resistance and inflammation. Statins prevent the body from maintaining the cholesterol concentrations targeted, lowering average wellness as a result even though the cholesterol looks good on paper. To answer your question though, my cholesterol ratios and levels are all clinically healthy even though I often eat a dozen eggs and a ribeye with some broccoli, butter and cheese for dinner. 😁 Bottom line is if the NMR looks good, the cholesterol numbers don’t matter at all IMO.
