Recent research shows that different types of LDL pose different risks.  I hadn’t know previously that LDL was classified by “small” and “large” particles. However, lots of articles that have been published through the Weston A. Price Foundation journal Wise Traditions have long claimed there is no correlation between high LDL and heart attack risk. There is agreement that low HDL and high triglycerides are a clear risk.

Now consider that the high-carbohydrate diets we (as a nation) are putting into our kids raises their LDL…and doctors want to prescribe statins to children! Are we just blindly handing Big Pharma our money and our health?
