   @earthpet Last year my triglyceride level was 1100, i was also prescribed gemfibrozil, but was feeling unpleasant side effects of irregular heartbeat, so i stopped taking it, and just started exercising and taking fish oil, that number dropped to 430, not where i should be, but it is less then half of what It was. I stopped drinking alcohol completely which i think was a major contributor to the level over 1000!

   Saturated fats are not always the culprit. Organic non hydrogenated coconut oil is more than beneficial. Also beef is fine IF it is grass fed. The ratios of omega 3 and 6 are perfect in grass fed or any wild meat. It is the grains they are fed incommercial feed lots that changes the omega 3-6 to an unhealthy ratio with excess omega 6. I appreciate the truth in this video but I feel this needed further explanation. No processed meats.

   I heard if you have low LPA levels, you can have high cholesterol and triglicerides and be fine.

   Mne was 423, I wasn’t prescribed to anything. Just told me to exercise and stop eating and drinking.

   Just found out today that my fasting triglyceride level was 450. I was prescribed Gemfibrozil. I was advised about my diet and excercise, but the info in this video about the low fat diet was counterintuitive and interesting.

   Thanks
