Ok, so as someone who practices medicine, take my word for it: Worry more about your LDL, better yet, your apoB level, than your HDL. HDL numbers are meaningless as the actual functionality of the HDL particle is not measurable.

You can find studies that support whatever theory you want to believe. The vast majority of scientific evidence says LDL is one of the key components to atherosclerosis.
