Febreeze is a great product——now they will probably change it.

Just like they changed Nyquil which doesn’t do anything anymore.

Yeah. Nyquil and Contacts used to be great if you couldn’t sleep. Now you might as well swallow pebbles.

LDL cholesterol bad, but only when made sticky by oxidation then it starts clumping and building which leads to inflammation then the inflammation gets to the point that it causes red blood cell clotting which leads to the heart attack/stroke stuff.

HDL cholesterol good. Helps to line molecules and keep it from sticking. Omega acid rich fats found in fish/nuts/avocados/etc help keep HDL high.

Anti-oxidents help with preventing the oxidation.

At least that is what I understand.

I think there is a difference between carbs in grains vs carbs in tubers which may account for some of the discussion on this particular type of sugar, but I don’t disagree with what you state in the least. Everyone pretty much agrees now that the “AHHHH cholesterol!” stuff from studies done 80 years ago pretty much didn’t have all the information and tried to make the answer too simple.
