Largest-Ever Meta-Analysis Finds CRP Is Unlikely to Be Causal for CVD

Still think they have any idea what is going on?

"In the largest and most comprehensive meta-analysis to date looking at C-reactive-protein (CRP) levels and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, British researchers conclude that CRP is unlikely to be a causal factor for cardiovascular disease.

Although CRP concentration was linearly associated with CHD, stroke, and vascular mortality, as well as nonvascular mortality, statistical adjustment for conventional cardiovascular risk factors 'resulted in considerable weakening of associations,' note the scientists of the Cambridge-based Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration (ERFC), who report their findings online December 21, 2009 in the Lancet."

CRP and inflammation are two of the holy biomarker grails of sick care.

They don't.
