High Insulin is a much bigger risk factor for heart disease than high LDL cholesterol.

Excuse me, Ken, but do you have evidence for that? For years, LDL has been a cornerstone of cardiovascular risk research among reputable societies. There's tons of evidence. There's also evidence that compares diabetic individuals and those with insulin resistance as a risk factor associated with LDL and independently.

But there is no evidence against one another (LDL versus Insulin resistance). In the case of overt diabetes or metabolic syndrome.

But it seems to me that that comment attempts to oversimplify complex associations. That's why, as a doctor myself, I'm asking if you could provide me with relevant literature?
