If Gary's LDL is 130 and his Total Chol is 220, using the standard formula his Triglycerides are approximately 450 which is quite high (should be below 150). If he did a VAP profile and measured his LDL size he would most certainly be pattern A, where small Dense LDL predominates with this level of TG (bad ). If he takes the VAP and finds out this is correct, I wonder if this would change his dietary outlook, since he seems to believe in information about the pattern of LDL being important.

@mike33176 My LDL is 270, but my trigs are 56. I don't get your logic.

I honestly lost all respect for Oz when he advocated the flu shot for his listeners and their children and made it sound like the right and safe thing to do and then didn't give the shot to his own children. So now I cant trust Oz to tell me the truth. And now after seeing all the real science from people who aren't afraid of losing a sponsor I can see Oz trying to deny that 900 pound gorilla in the room again. I'm proud of you and Gary and all the others who wont give up the fight for truth.

Dr. Oz is such a dork...His show is for housewives who have a crush on him.

The higher your Cholesterol, the higher your testosterone and the lower your chances of getting colds and flus. If they asked me to measure my cholesterol, I'd be like hell yeah! What? Mine is higher than yours? I win.

[wormmy1]

@mike33176 Gary has since posted his results on his blog. His trigs are 64.

@theUSER101 really dude you just need to shut the fuck up. you arent saying anything. you sound like a female just admit you arent as smart as you think you are. retarded sheeple like you amuse me so much. you are so gullible an except everything your told. you dont research anything. you listen to doctors being paid by big pharm companies that sell you poison. you know what im done arguing with you. just gotta realize you got some bitch in you. you need to go douche. lol

[theUSER101]

@nixcomaj84 Yeah, this has to be a joke. No one on earth is this fucking stupid...how can you possibly not comprehend what I'm saying to you. You are a waste of life. Everything is toxic in high doses you fucking retarded piece of shit....even water can kill you if you ingest to much....GOD YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT! The dose of formaldahyde is completely safe. There are shit loads of studies showing that vacs are safe...fucking google it you moron conspiracy theorist.

[nixcomaj84]

@theUSER101 jesus christ dude thank you we finally fucking understand that formaldehyde is a toxin so shut the fuck up about it. what about all the other shit i laid out. its shut up or put up time. show me one fucking study not from the government that says flu shots are safe, and i can show you studies showing the adverse effects that they have. not once did i say that ALL VACCINES ARE BAD you stupid motherfucker. get your shit straight bitch boy.

[theUSER101]

@nixcomaj84 Are you a fucking POE? Are you seriously this stupid or are you fucking with me? Formaldehyde is a toxin you fucktard, no shit. That is completely irrelevant to the fact that the amount of formaldehyde in vaccines is a hell of a lot lower than what your body would naturally produce from eating a single fruit. I cannot dumb that down anymore for you...you're a fucking idiot, clearly. Vaccines have wiped out shit load of diseases, small pox, polio etc. Flu vacs is proven safe too!

[nixcomaj84]

@theUSER101 yup just like a bitch you keep bringin up shit that doesnt even pertain to what the argument is. you said vaccines are the best thing ever when in reality they are filled with things that are harmful to humans. your monkey ass is still stuck on formaldehyde even after i've showed you thats its considered a toxin to humans. so really you are showing your own ignorance. i know the fact that somebody came with real facts makes you feel like a punk and makes you lash out. so sad.

[theUSER101]

@nixcomaj84 You are showing your incredible stupidity. You are so uneducated that you can't even comprehend something so basic. If you are worried about things like formaldehyde in vaccines because it is a toxin, then you should not eat fruits and veg because every time you do it produces formaldehyde in the body. Are you a fucking idiot? How can you not comprehend that? lmfao. Just open your fucking mouth faggot....sucking dick is all you will even be good for. Damn you're fucking stupid.
