 That's the whole deal with triglycerides. Triglycerides, when they get elevated, it means that you're not only getting fat in your diet, the kind of fat, like saturated fat that you don't really need, but also it's binding together and the body's having a hard time breaking down sugars. So they combine together and make your triglycerides go through the roof. So there's obesity and diabetes epidemics, which ultimately will lead to increase in cardiovascular deaths in the United States in years to come.
