Summary

People with type B lipid profiles experience much greater risk of heart disease than do people with type A lipid profiles.

An experiment was conducted in which type A and type B lipid profile volunteers were put on a low-fat diet. Their cholesterol levels and lipid profiles were monitored.

During the experiment, type B volunteers and type A volunteers showed very different results. Type B volunteers demonstrated lowered cholesterol levels but no change to their lipid profiles. Meanwhile, type A volunteers experienced no benefits and, in 40% of cases, actually shifted to type B lipid profiles.

Notable Valid Inferences

At the end of the experiment, 40% of type A volunteers were at greater risk of heart disease than they were at the beginning.

Changes in cholesterol levels do not necessarily correlate with changes in lipid profile types.
