"usual suspect" knows so little about cholesterol that he doesn't understand
that we use mmol/L in the UK and not mg/dL as in the USA - hence all his
obnoxious blithering is based on ignorance.

When I say LDL-c = 1, that is about 39 in the USA. When I say my TC is about
2 (actually it is 2.4) I DO NOT mean 200, and hence his confusion in
believing it was originally 400. DUH.

In the UK "omnivores" averaged LDL-c = 3.41 mmol/L in one study, their TC
was just over 200. Vegans in the same study had TC 4.41 mmol/L, about 172.
My TC is about 93 mg/dL. It does not go much lower than that normally.

I just dug out my very last bloods and the TC was not so good at 2.7, but I
didn't get a breakdown and not a fasting measure either, so I don't use that
figure. I hope that clears this up.
