Reply to comment by gsoClarke in TIL there is a genetic disorder many people have with something called Lipoprotein (a), and it puts people at high risk of heart disease, heart attack, stroke, and aortic stenosis. It’s 100% genetic, can’t be corrected, and can only be treated with aggressive cholesterol control. by questionhorror

One needs to have LDL under 60 to be safe from atherosclerosis (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0735109717412320?via%3Dihub).

Consider going whole foods plant-based. This way there is no cholesterol going into your body and as much as possible leaving it (as fiber binds cholesterol and we excrete it with feces).
