1 is pretty incorrect according to modern metabolic understanding, no? A large chunk of LDL production comes from the liver, and complex carbohydrates tend to leave the most LDL behind after running through the liver. Reductions in sweet processed foods would help the most there, not reductions in fats. Exercise helps a good deal with the same problems too. The study is a bit suspect, and it makes me wonder if all that really happened is that participants replace HFCS with honey, which doesn’t have the same impact on the liver.

> complex carbohydrates tend to leave the most LDL behind after running through the liver. reduced my carbs, lost 15 pounds (I'm not obese to start with) LDL stayed super high. no decrease of any kind. > Reductions in sweet processed foods would help the most there, not reductions in fats. I dont eat sweet processed foods anyway, nope > Exercise helps a good deal with the same problems too. tried that, nope what worked (dramatically) is: 1. cut out dairy 2. take statins
