Dear Dr Rosedale,

It's usually cholesterol that is (incorrectly) depicted as a risk factor for heart disease. We know that is not true.

From what I have been reading, I understand that Lp(a), Apo-B and Apo-A1 indicate the real risk for heart disease.

What is your expert opinion on these risk factors? If Lp(a), Apo-B and Apo-A1 are found to be out of the normal range, then what are the ways to correct them so that the cardiac risk is brought down?

With best regards,
Manoj

    The only major value of other factors is how they correlate with particle size. Therefore, I would just measure particle size directly, such as a VAP cholesterol. Studies has been shown robustly that a Rosedale Diet type diet will increase particle size. That is what you want.

    Best of health.
