the physics of it don't work out we when I was first learning about this like so many others I thought lipoproteins once I learned that there were these you know just giant balls and all I can see for a frame of reference is this picture and just these balls filling the picture I'm thinking of them it's just like you know loading up my bloodstream particularly the higher I get in them and then I really sat down and I did the math the volume of what five liters of blood for like an adult male like myself might have and then I actually calculated the volume of a low-density lipoprotein which is around I want to say 22 and a half and diameters something along those lines and then I added it all together and ultimately found out that 2,000 animals which is probably close to what I had two thousand animals or take of about one five thousandth of my total blood volume so about 2% of one percent of all of the blood I have right it could because they're that small even in the aggregate
