This is a great summary of the information that Gary Taubes Highlights so well in "Good Calories Bad Calories" in regards to the significance of LDL.
BLUF: LDL does not predict risk of heart disease nearly as well as triglicerides and HDL levels do. With low triglycerides and high HDL, you needn't worry about LDL levels. In my book, taking statins to treat LDL levels makes no sense at all.
