It is interesting to note that normally “non-HDL cholesterol” INCLUDES LDL. But twice in this wrote up, they state LDL separate from “non-HDL” cholesterol.

For practical purposes, this means “triglycerides” and possibly V-LDL.

You immediately lower triglycerides by lowering only carbs.

Well think about it.

A high carb low protein/fat diet is fed to feed animals in order to put weight on fast,

and it’s the very same damn diet fedgov say we need to eat to stay fit and healthy.

Bullshiite on fedgov.

“All to sell you more statin drugs, my dear.” I’ve seen it all over many years as a Certified Diabetes Educator R.N. Big Pharma Profits. Lower the goal numbers and sell more drugs. The true risk factor is vascular inflammatory processes. And no, triglycerides are not cholesterol. They do not fit in the category of non-HDL cholesterol. Triglycerides are a separate product. LDL is the major non-HDL blood component. VLDL is next but very small compared to LDL and other non-HDLs are so low in number as to be not practical to measure. It is true that high carbs increase triglyceride levels. Triglycerides are made by the liver, converting excess intake into storable fat. Nevertheless, high protein and high fat diets present issues of their own. Balance! Regular, frequent exercise especially after eating (not heavy...just a short walk will do). Keeping self-produced insulin levels down by post-meal physical activity is the best way to achieve health by preventing the effects of too much insulin. High insulin levels cause overgrowth of tissue in the body...fat storage, junk in the arteries, and also several types of serious cancer....colon, breast, prostate, kidney to name the proven ones. Enough for now.

Pop four pills of Vascepa a day. And until all prescription drug insurance companies make it a tier one available drug get yourself some OTC pure EPA Omega 3 fish oil capsules. Omegavia EPA 500 as an example. The presence of DHA Omega 3 is what you want to avoid as it neutralizes the positive cardiac properties of EPA.

Humans can’t survive without ample healthy cholesterol. Cells require healthy cholesterol for renewal and food. The liver creates cholesterol from lipoproteins and fats, either stored or ingested.

When a liver gets too much sugar it starts producing attenuated amounts of cholesterol, mostly compact low density lipoprotein (VLDL). Because production is attenuated the blood fills with unused fat in the form of triglycerides. So high levels of triglycerides and VLDL’s are bad indicators.

The same glycation which causes liver attenuation hardens artery walls. Artery walls become britt!e, and crack when the heart pumps. VLDL particles build up in the cracks until they cause blockages.

Statins are ineffective, and have been associated with cancer. Stop ingesting carbohydrates. Replace your carbohydrates with fats.

Totally great tool..!

Oh, except omit the bottom band.

Uh...and then turn it upside down.

Ya know? Just throw out this pyramid totally.

It’s awfully hard for me to buy into an article for food consumption that is written by an organization that is selling their diet, the EAT–Lancet benchmark diet, and is funded by ultra liberals the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
