When the most important part of atherosclerosis is not described correctly there is little confidence in the information. Cholesterol does not cause atherosclerosis. Inflammation grabs the particles floating by in the bloodstream and packs them into plaque. We have been going about this all wrong for years, we went after secondary prevention by reducing cholesterol rather than looking at cause and effect. Stopping inflammation would make much more sense, but that won't occur now because statins are a huge profit center for the drug industry.

But never listen to me, ask your doctor these questions.
