Targeted Lipid Screening in Kids Called Inadequate

Tragic result of nutritional child abuse.

Screening all children for high cholesterol may be the only way to find those needing treatment, researchers said.

Among West Virginia fifth-graders with no family history of premature hyperlipidemia or cardiovascular disease, and therefore not currently recommended for cholesterol screening, 9.5% had LDL levels of 130 mg/dL or higher, according to a study published in the August issue of Pediatrics.

Things are way, way out of control when you "need" to screen all the kids.

Insanity.

Stop the nutritional child abuse.
