That tend to make folks hungrier if they don't overdo it.

Those who remain brainwashed to believe falsely that "hunger is bad"

this false belief.

Actually, the low HDL is a cholesterol problem.

You need to get serious about your health and do whatever you need to do to
get your Triglycerides a lot lower and to raise your HDL's.

My Triglycerides were 612, and not are about 480. I have higher bad
cholesterol that the good, but the over all numbers are not as bad as a lot
of people. But the numbers between the good and bad are large. Last year
when I was 43, I have 3 stents put in on an emergency basis.
I have heard that higher Triglycerides can be a sign to developing diabetes,
or atlest there's some link.

I will I knew for sure what to make of it.
