Dear colleagues,

Always remind patients that we humans have zero need to eat cholesterol. We synthesize it. We’re healthier when we eat exclusively plants & mushrooms 🌱🍄

… and may never need to worry about our #LDL-c levels 😎

What ages an artery: the cholesterol inside a few particles, or the number of particles passing through over time? ApoB matters because it tracks atherogenic particle burden beyond LDL-C alone.

LDL-C and HDL-C are familiar; ApoB is less famous. Bottom line: ApoB is usually the cleaner predictor, because arteries see particle traffic, not cholesterol labels.
