("Clinical Chemistry", 08/01/04, found that apo(a) "size" is a bigger factor than Lp(a) concentration.)

Niacin raises blood sugar, so it's not a benign substance when taken in multi-gram dosage. The data on the use of niacin for CVD prevention does not look good; it's a net negative. I suspect the blood sugar effect may be the problem. My question is how does lp(a) change this equation? High lp(a) is relatively rare in the general population, so it's unlikely that it was highly represented in the studies in which niacin performed poorly. Do people with high lp(a) do better on niacin than without it?

In one of your other Videos you showed your Lp(a) was around 10mg/dl. Which is way below the cut Off. Why are you taking Niacin than, when your Lp (a) seems normal? I myself have 7.8. Would you recommend taking Niacin?

The nomenclature is somewhat confusing. Evidently, Lipoprotein (a) is not Apolipoprotein A1.

You mention that Linus Pauling thought that Vitamin C (and Lysine?) would DECREASE Lp(a). I was under the impression that he thought that these things would simply increase the body's resistance to the ill effects of Lp(a), not actually lower its levels within the body. Were you just simplifying, or am I completely wrong?
