that's why they call it practicing medicine, they don't have it down yet.

This is a good site on cholesterol LINK
Your link condemns Lipitor. My own reaction to Lipitor was severe muscle ache... to the point that I could barely walk.
I really don't trust statins.

so basically, just follow the no carb diet and you'll be fine, correct? I mean, eat just meats and veggies and all is well?
I can do this with no problem.

I eat carbs, but I try to get most of them from fruit, and keep it rather low.

Very common. I think they are over-used, too. Have you tried Co Q10 for this...Works for a few people with the leg cramps for statin, but only a few..Total Cholesterol levels are grossly over treated IMO.

Politics, maybe? Some of these holier than thou board members can get their feelings hurt easily.

My cholesterol is running a little over 300 and I flat out refuse to take statins. I tried them once and felt like I had been beaten with a baseball bat and could barely make it up my stairs. When I get my blood tested in March, I'm going to ask for a hi-res CRP.
Four years ago, I had a nuclear stress test done, just for the hell of it and the cardiologist and he said my heart was way more than fine.

Here's some other reading material that discusses this as well.
The Great Cholesterol Myth
I Worked as a rep for Genentech in the 90's selling TPA (Clot buster for heart attacks). At the time, I knew the data from the major heart attack trials much better than most treating MDs. IIRC, in one study of 40,000 patients with documented myocardial infarction, 35% of the subjects had normal cholesterol levels. I always wondered why they got heart attacks, maybe this explains it.
Someone mentioned good vs bad cholesterol, but it is more complex than that. The size of the bad cholesterol molecules and the percentage of small vs large matters. If the major component of your bad cholesterol is of the large molecular size it is not atherogenic.
Ask them to do an NMR next time your MD orders a lipid panel.

5,000 surgeries over a 25 year career? That's 200 per year. A "good" heart surgeon would do 5,000 in 5 to 10 years.

Last month we were told vitamins are a waste and this month that admit they had the cause of heart disease wrong.....and Global warming is a fraud etc..
Maybe it time we realize the "government" has no experts......only an agenda.

Not always the case, btw.
E.g., Salt restriction remains an important adjunct in treatment of CHF.
Like I said, salt sensitive people should have low intake of salt. Normal people don't need to worry about it.

we aren't carnivores...
Omnivores I believe. Vegans do not. But with western diets we made meat and dairy priority one. Side dishes get smaller and smaller. Unless it is covered in cheese.

I'd argue that we'd made carbs and grains the staple of our diets, and meats/fats got blamed unfairly for the resulting health problems.
