- If you didn’t hear about triglycerides from your doctor, then you may have first heard about it from a TV ad extolling the virtues of a “trans fat-free” cooking oil, and the actor was probably stressing over his high triglyceride levels! Many would immediately consider reducing the oil and ghee in their diet. Unfortunately, this is only part of the story. What remains unsaid is that the main cause of high triglyceride levels is the consumption of simple carbs.
- Our diets today are predominantly high in carbohydrates and simple sugars. This is because both are easily available. They are also versatile in that they form the base ingredient in a variety of foods.
- It’s a common belief that a high fat diet is solely responsible for high triglyceride levels. But the hard truth is that an over consumption of sugar and simple carbohydrates is the primary culprit. High triglyceride levels are not only the primary reason for increasing your risk of heart disease, but it also leads to insulin resistance, a scenario in which the cells that normally respond to insulin become resistant to it, resulting in higher than normal blood sugar levels.
