Triglycerides are very easy to lower, and everything <150 is OK, no need to have it rock bottom. It takes a lot of refined sugar, fat and ... booze to raise TRG, but it does not take much sat. fat to raise LDL. LDL is hard to lower and lots of sat. fat raises LDL. So far I have read that high LDL is associated with CAD. But I am not a doctor, not sure if you are, you sound very affirmative on the issue. Regards.
