Alastair-I'll break my rule not to respond to you as it's always wasted effort. For others, red circled sentence makes no sense.
Table 2: FH not on lipid
meds
with CAD, LDL=240
w/o CAD: LDL=221
How can=LDL in CAD vs non-CAD = LDL causes CAD?
Table 1: FH smokers had 2x CAD
So LDL is NOT associated with CAD? 

exactly - in the subset of FH not on meds, LDL was not associated with CAD. So why did the authors say ignore everything, lower LDL in FH?
another: Analysis of lipid metabolism and its impact on the risk of IHD in patients with FH; Athero Supp 30 (2017) 56-62 No diff in LDL-C between FH w vs w/o IHD or MI high LP(a) = >3x IHD and 5x risk of MI FH smokers = 1.7x IHD and 3.36 x MI rate obese FH = 2.5X all indep of LDL
How about this? 2m patients, 20m patient years, every conceivable study type: Conclusion: Obvious link https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/28444290/ …
1) That paper's written by pharma employees (see COI); and 2) Here's a scholarly rebuttal to the EAS statement: Pharmacol 2018;101:184–218; "A Critical Review of the Consensus Statement from the EAS Consensus Panel" just consider the possibility you've been hoodwinked by pharmapic.twitter.com/jC3oUupjol
Particularly weird considering that actually they all work at universitiespic.twitter.com/VeR0FI1JpN
Their place of employment is listed as universities but their COI makes it clear their anti-LDL bias and $ come from Pharma
Your argument is circular "They are biased therefore they are paid by pharma therefore they are biased"
Can you clarify? How was it stated "they are biased therefore they are paid by pharma"?
"Their anti-LDL bias comes from pharma"
