Lipid panel improvements mega-thread — need advice

Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice. Most of what circulates confidently in this community traces back to one summary of one study, and the qualifier was dropped somewhere in the third retelling.

Worth separating that from the lipid panel, which this thread keeps folding into the same question. They behave differently and the advice does not transfer.

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.
