My cholesterol has always been fine, but my triglycerides high, and the doctors (at the time) kept at me about fatty foods. I practically went vegetarian, and no difference. Then when I went on my current diet (high protein & fat - low carbs) for pain, my triglycerides dropped like a stone.

Some doctors are recognizing triglycerides can be due to carbs, but many still associate/connect them with high fats...
