I had deduced a while back that there MUST be at least two different types of ldl’s. This research proves it.

....................................

What are ldl’s?

In the body, we have fats, carbs, and proteins. Fats are NECESSARY to life.

But fats cannot exist standalone in the blood. They are insoluble.

LDL’s are proteins with a special purpose. They are hydrophilic (love water) on one end, and lipophilic (love fats) on the other. In the body, a bunch of these will surround fats (and other substances!!) and form a balloon of material to transport it through the bloodstream.

So ldl’s, in and of themselves, are not the enemy. It is what some of them are carrying that is.

And it has taken them MILLIONS OF DOLLARS of research, spanning MULTIPLE GENERATIONS of lives (and deaths!!) to finally figure this out!!

And, I believe HIGH triglycerides are developed from eating too many carbs/sugars....lower the carbs/sugars...and the triglycerides drop. Tri’s LOVE sugar.
