I assume you know what a risk factor is and how it is established. I also assume you know what association is, and what it does and does not mean. Should I also mention epidemiology and observational studies? It must be clear to you, then, that nothing points to a mechanistic or causal relationship between high LDL in the blood and CVD. LDL does participate in the formation of atheroma (albeit in an altered state), but so do so many other molecules and cells. Do macrophages cause disease? Well, they must be there for it to develop, but they are an otherwise vital part of our bodies. Same goes for LDL. As for the misinformation I am spreading, what are you afraid of? Do you think me saying LDL is not a predictor or cause of CVD (which, again, is true, and you know that) is going to cause harm to anyone? How so? By them gorging on butter? If you still believe saturated fat is bad, well... This conversation is rather futile, and we both know it. Either way, I'm curious: what is a heart-healthy diet for you? Also, I would ask of you to please keep the fancy words for more relevant uses. I am not a native English speaker and I fear I might not understand some.
