what I see my patients is that oxidized LDL tracts directly with LDL particle number and the ratio that I see is 0.04 and if someone is different than 0.04 you may have a problem

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
can I measure oxidized LDL in the plasma no LDLs don't get oxidized into plasma there's too many natural antioxidants in plasma where they don't occur
just understand what you're measuring but of all the LDL particles that are floating around if you get an abnormal ox you're looking at maybe 5% of the total particles
