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.

Doctors will tell you high blood cholesterol is bad for you HDL is good, LDL is bad, but cholesterol has been given a bad rap. Every cell membrane in our body uses cholesterol in their membranes to protect the cell, so free radicals bounce off of them rather than tearing into them. Our brain and the myelin in every nerve cell is cholesterol. If blood cholesterol is high, you need to find out why. It has to be because of damage to the circulatory system for the cholesterol to go there to REPAIR the damage.
I have also read that higher cholesterol, not blood cholesterol, in the elderly increases their life span.

True. Actually falls in line with everything they told us that was good, IS actually bad.

Yes, exactly. Like the food pyramid they gave us when supposedly teaching us to eat properly. Works better if you flip it upside down.
