the sugar trap. (why your cholesterol is high).
you avoid avocados. you throw away the egg yolks. you eat "low-fat" cereal and drink fruit juice. you obsess over your LDL numbers because you want to be healthy.
you are looking at the wrong side of the map.
(critical warning: never stop taking statins abruptly. consult your cardiologist).
here is the biology of your metabolism: high triglycerides don't come from eating healthy fats. when you eat refined carbs and sugar, your liver gets overwhelmed. it converts that massive sugar spike directly into blood-clogging triglycerides.
we stopped eating fat, and we triggered an epidemic of insulin resistance.
the biological truth: stop fearing fat. fix your blood sugar. focus on the golden ratio (triglycerides divided by hdl). and if you take a statin, ask your doctor about protecting your cellular energy with coq10.
