You must Get Your HDL Levels UP to Avoid CVD

"A low HDL-C is a component of the atherogenic dyslipidemia of the metabolic syndrome and has been shown to be an important determinant of coronary risk. ... If raising HDL so modestly [10% - 20%] in some of the trials we've already seen can [have such a significant] impact on risk, we may be in for some real surprises when you start talking about 40%, 60%, 80%, or 100% elevation in HDL. It's going to be very, very exciting."    Doctor Peter Toth MD PhD

"Scientists long ago documented the ability of HDL (high-density lipoprotein) to remove cholesterol affixed to arterial walls and transport it to the liver for safe disposal. This is why it is so important to maintain HDL levels above 50 mg/dL of blood and follow steps Life Extension has outlined to ensure optimal reverse cholesterol transport of lipids away from the arterial wall.124 HDL does more than just cleanse arterial walls of plaque. It also protects LDL against oxidation, while inhibiting chronic inflammation, vascular adhesion molecules, and platelet activation—all factors that can lead to atherosclerosis."
