The end of the lipid era ??????
Jan 4, 2010 0 comments Uncategorized Uncategorized

The most recent Lipidaholics Anonymous Case has been posted under Groups: Lipidaholics. I pose the following question: Please surprise me with the correct answer: Who said and when did they say: "In a desire to use more specific terminology, certain durable nouns from the lipid era should not be discarded." The nouns being referred to are hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia.   Next question - if that is true, when did the lipid era end and what followed it?   Third and final question: how many practicing physicians and lipidologists even know the lipid era has ended?  

For the answer you have to read the case - Trust me you will be rewarded and perhaps very surprised.

Happy New Year,  Tom Dayspring
