Wilts,
For some reason doctors seem intent on scaring us to death. I suggest you read chapter 3 of Dr Malcolm Kendrick’ book ‘THE GREAT CHOLESTEROL CON.
In this chapter he explains what TRIGLYCERIDES are and what they do in the body. He writes, “Some of you may even have been informed as to your triglyceride level (this is a relatively new thing to worry people with).
Dr Kendrick proves there is nothing to worry about regarding triglycerides; our bodies deal with these effectively.
So stop worrying, stop taking pills (if you are) and enjoy a stress free life.
