It's like saying a flying bullet can't do anything on its own. It is a meaningless statement.
>As I pointed out in another post over 75% of people who have heart attacks have normal LDL.
The actual study authors were advocating for lower LDL guidelines, particularly among the elderly.
A heart attack is the destination, not the journey. What someone's LDL was at admission for a heart attack says literally nothing about their state for the decades before. In actual studies tracking cholesterol, even over a five year period lowering LDL has a potent beneficial effect.

Hypertension can cause endothelial inflammation, leading to blood vessel damage and promoting the release of inflammatory mediators. This is extremely well documented, and it's why getting hypertension under control medically is considered extremely important in the CVD battle. Inflammation and hypertension often are found hand in hand, and there is uncertainty over the cause and the effect, but strangely controlling hypertension alone dramatically reduces inflammation. Weird, right?
>I have zero inflammation
Sorry, but LOL. Not only is that a singular and very narrow test, inflammation is literally just a facet of living. As is oxidization. There isn't a single human alive with "zero inflammation", nor is there anyone that has magically non-odidizing LDL.
If you don’t understand the difference between acute and chronic inflammation, there is no longer any reason to continue this conversation with you. Yes, I apologize because I didn’t specify the difference, but I thought you would be intelligent enough to know the distinction.
