LDL-cholesterol and osteoporosis
I've started reading McCormick's book 'Great Bones'. He attributes his osteoporosis for the main part to too many MALPS, caused by a high LDL. He also says: "Couple this with a red blood cell count (RBC) below 4.0 million/mm3 and you probably have excessive MALP-production (see pages 46-47).
I searched and found e.g. this article from 2022: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8896571/ "High Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels are Associated with Osteoporosis Among Adults 20–59 Years of Age" .
That article links to this article from 2020: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32163637/ "The Effect of Plasma Lipids and Lipid-Lowering Interventions on Bone Mineral Density: A Mendelian Randomization Study."
By the way, despite McCormick's expectations, according to my google research, tocotrienols don't look effective in lowering LDL cholesterol.
For me, discovering that high levels of LDL cholesterol can form a significant contribution to osteoporosis, is an eye opener.
