Here's a quote from the link - "Frank M. Sacks, M.D., Professor of Cardiovascular Disease Prevention at Harvard, with over a hundred publications to his name,[998] reviewed all of the evidence surrounding LDL size in 2003.[999] He found that some studies showed that larger LDL (the type that the Atkins Diet elevates) seemed more dangerous. "Thus," he wrote, "large and small LDL are atherogenic, and it is not possible to judge which if any is more harmful, overall."[1000] Cleveland Clinic Medical Director (and Vice President of the American College of Cardiology) Steven Nissen, M.D., agrees that LDL particle size simply isn't clinically useful.[1001]" (Emphasis Added)

Another quote from the link - ""In summary," Dr. Sacks wrote, "the picture is emerging... that small LDL does not have a special relationship to coronary heart disease beyond its contribution to LDL concentration." He concludes "all LDL types should be viewed as harmful."[1002] In other words, large or small, bad cholesterol is bad cholesterol." (Emphasis Added)
