Will reducing ldl cholesterol lower the risk of cardiovascular disease?

LDL Not Cholesterol: Ldl refers to lipoproteins, protein particles which transport all fats in the water outside cells & are the primary driver of atherosclerosis. Ldl & HDL are not cholesterol. Cholesterol is a fat made by all animal cells. Ldl is always in nmol/l, best <700, HDL in µmol/l, best large-hdl>10. See NMR particle test, <$100. Cholesterol tests promoted because cheaper but also misleading, not better.
