Is LDL a Cause of Heart Attack?

We don't really know what the long term consequences are of elevated LDL in the context of somebody who is metabolically healthy. The criteria for diagnosing metabolic syndrome doesn't include LDL. So you could be in perfect metabolic health, but have elevated LDL. Dr. Rob Seywers based in Florida explained this concept very well as to why people demonize lipids and associate like LDL to heart attack.
