Can anyone tell me why triglycerides are on a lipid profile? They are not cholesterol, so why on a cholesterol panel? Triglycerides are from sugar. So sugar (high triglycerides) will not be lowered by statins, but the doctor will let you believe your cholesterol is high if your triglycerides are high so they can get you to take the statin that pulls beneficial cholesterol from your brain, nerves, and every other cell in your body that uses cholesterol in cell membranes, and the nervous system to PROTECT them.

My paternal nemesis. Diets high in simple carbs for those with hypersensitivity to carbs cause an elevation in triglycerides which raises risk of CVD.
Or so they say.
I have historically high total cholesterol numbers but have kept Drs from shoving Meds down my throat by keeping my HDL numbers high. Keeping a very favorable ratio may be better than focusing on individual numbers.
As it turns out, keeping cholesterol TOO LOW may be directly linked to Alzheimer’s/ dementia. Not enough cholesterol to repair the covering of nerves, think of electrical wiring.

My triglyceride level was over 900 once, and come to find out it was because I had a glass of sweet tea a couple of hours before the test. Also, alcohol will make your triglycerides high as well.
I do believe triglycerides are the main constituent in body fat. But, I believe sugar, simple carbs are the cause of the fat in the first place.
When you eat, your body converts any calories it doesn't need to use right away into triglycerides. The triglycerides are stored in your fat cells. Later, hormones release triglycerides for energy between meals.
If you regularly eat more calories than you burn, particularly from high-carbohydrate foods, you may have high triglycerides (hypertriglyceridemia).
