Triglycerides (another type of blood fat) and for making blood less

sticky and less likely to clot. Thus help with reducing heart

attacks or strokes. This same blood thinning effect may help blood

vessels in the eyes.

Hi Debbie and all,

 

Well, you snipped a little too much off the front of Dr. Dhillon's sentence

for me to recall his meaning. But in general, triglycerides (currently being

renamed " triaglycerols " ) are fat molecules needed for many functions

throughout the body. They travel via the blood stream and constitute the

primary measure of " blood fat " (similar idea as blood sugar).

 

From my previous posts, you may recall that elevated blood fat directly

causes most of the so-called " blood-sugar conditions " (chronic fatigue,

diabetes 2, hyper/hypoglycemia, insulin resistance, yeast/candida, etc.) So

while we do need these fats, we need them in moderate quantities, generally

in the range 5-10% of total caloric intake, no more.

 

Hope this helps.

Elchanan
