  2. I am struggling to understand why my gp thinks I need statins.

    Total lipid 5.2 mmol/L (above 5.0)
    Triglycerides 1.13 ( 0.0 to 1.7)
    HDL 2.13 (at least 1.2 but no upper limit on their range)
    LDL 2.6 ( below 3.0)
    Cholesterol/HDL ratio 2.4 ( below 6.0, optimal below 4.0)
    Non HDL 3.07 (below 4.0)

    It appears to me that the only marker putting me above a total of 5.0 is my HDL, and there isn't an upper limit on their range for that?

    Any ideas?

The group with three servings of full-fat dairy had no meaningful weight gain or change in body composition or cholesterol, and had lower blood pressure. Calorie restriction resulted in lower BMI.
