When you had your last blood cholesterol, did they do a detailed
count, or just HDL/LDL/Triglycerides/Total?

Reducing carb consumption leads to a serious reduction in Plasma
Triglycerides, which is associated with larger, fluffier LDL

consumption of olive, pecan, avocado and almond, and some others as
well.
