Part IV of a conversation with a low-fat zealot and statin advocate

Kevin S. Fansler says, "But the model would have you believe that God/evolution sent LDL down to constantly war against the epithelium of arteries. Strangely enough LDL has declared peace with the epithelium of veins. Why is that?" 

D. M. replies:
"Probably because the blood pressure is higher in the arteries. Hypertension is a risk factor for CHD, so that's a reasonable explanation."

Kevin Fansler says, "The model for atherosclerosis formation as presented by D. M. (courtesy of statin advocates) is severely deficient and so simplistic that it cannot even distinguish between arteries and veins. The statin advocate must only appeal to other risk factors while they claim that high LDL levels directly cause CHD. The emperor has no clothes."
