Just a few thoughts to make some points. Cholesterol is not important in heart disease and in diabetes, what really matters is inflammation. When inflammation sets in your arteries you are prone to atherosclerosis. Inflammation is a response to high insulin from a high carb diet. It is that simple, it is been scientifically proved for a long time. A high carb diet produces high triglycerides, inflammation, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and almost every sickness you can think of. The enemy is not fat neither cholesterol, it is inflammation. The problem is that doctors don’t tell their patients this because either they don’t know or they only care to follow what the American Heart Association (AHA) wants to say.
