What are Tryglycerides or Triglycerides?
My Problem with Cholesterol is with the triglycerides, and it's tough to find info on them, there is much less out there than there is for HDL and LDL (good and bad cholesterol).
Triglyceride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "In the human body, high levels of triglycerides in the bloodstream have been linked to atherosclerosis, and, by extension, the risk of heart disease and stroke. However, the negative impact of raised levels of triglycerides is lower than that of LDL:HDL ratios. The risk can be partly accounted for by a strong inverse relationship between triglyceride level and HDL-cholesterol level.
Another disease caused by high triglycerides is pancreatitis.
Guidelines
The American Heart Association has set guidelines for triglyceride levels:[1]
| Level mg/dL | Level mmol/L | Interpretation |
| <150 | <1.69 | Normal range, lowest risk |
| 150-199 | 1.70-2.25 | Borderline high |
| 200-498 | 2.25-5.63 | High |
| >500 | >5.65 | Very high, increased risk |
Please note that this information is relevant to triglyceride levels as tested after fasting. Triglyceride levels remain temporarily higher for a period of time after eating."

Interesting site.
I’ve read that niacin is the only medication that has demonstrably reduced unwanted cardiovascular events. The 8341 patients, in the 15 year Coronary Drug Project (CDP), demonstrated the end-result effectiveness of niacin. There’s much about this at www.cholesterolscore.com

i didn't know that triglycerides could cause atherosclerosis. I thought atherosclerosis was more of a plaque formed by macrophages.
i read that cholesterol or triglycerides isn't the primary cause for atherosclerosis since they can't travel in the blood.
You can monitor the levels of cholesterol in your system by having regular blood tests taken by your doctor, and you can ensure you are doing all you can to prevent the cholesterol levels increase by carefully choosing food that is proven to be beneficial for this condition, wherever you are
