Interesting article. John always had a good total cholesterol and good HDL/LDL ratios. Nine months prior to his diagnosis he had a physical. All looked good. The only change was that the HDL/LDL numbers switched places. This shift was ignored since they were still within the normal range. We asked about that but were dismissed. Obviously, something was going on before his counts dropped. Just what it was, who knows. Two months earlier he had a bout of food poisoning. Always looking for that connection.
