Interesting that Dr.Krauss doesn’t mention Niacin (nicotinic acid) in the statin talk. Yes, statins can lower total LDL. Maybe a higher percent of the large LDL and very low if any percent of VLDL or small particles. Studies show Niacin rather than statins have shown to raise HDL the main particle that carries LDL and lowers LPa LDL particles out of the body. Has he studied niacin? interested in his comments. Too bad that the flawed HP2S Thrive study didn’t start with Niacin first and add statins to the arms that need more reduction in the large LDL particles. Should be a episode in the show “American Greed”….
