In this video, I take a look at a common "Standard of Care" that many doctors seem to be following when it comes to cholesterol control (which basically means "prescribing statins.") The fixation I see many people reporting on "70 mg LDL" tells me that this Standard or one like it is the source for this number.

** RIGHT AFTER I MADE THIS VIDEO I DISCOVERED THAT THE AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION NOW RECOMMENDS AN LDL-C LEVEL OF NO MORE THAN 55 mg/DL for some patients!!! ** Yikes!
