Alternatives.....by Dr. David Williams
Consumption of either fat or carbs can increase triglyceride levels. If you are taking your blood test after fasting (where you haven't had anything to drink or eat for the last twelve hours or so) and your triglycerides are high, then generally is is a result of consumming excess sugar or carbohydrates.
This is the way most lipid profile tests are performed, for example cholesterol testing. And for most individuals, excess carbs from sweets and grains (particularly wheat) are generally the reason for the increased triglyceride levels.
In a nutshell, lower your triglycerides and you will lower your production and levels of the small forms of harmful LDL cholestrol.
For some people, alcohol consumption can also be a problem. Even small amounts can elevate triglyceride levels. Alcohol also seems to be a problem with people who have depleted glutathione levels.
