I'm still slogging my way through the archives when I have time, so if
you've already answered this, my apologies... but the Eades talked about
two types of LDL--a more dense and a "fluffy" type--was your increase
significant in the "fluffy LDL" or was that something that's hard to get
tested? Since you've had an ongoing struggle with that, I was curious to
know if that applied to you...
