... the VLDL of 45 would freak me out. Last test I had,
put my VLDL at 18 in a range of 5 - 45.

If a high VLDL results primarily from excess fruit consumption,
would it be OK, since the accompanying antioxidants
and phytochemicals would prevent any serious problems.
Might this not occur during fall when gorging to store fat for winter?

Look at http://hp2010.nhlbihin.net/atpiii/calculator.asp
May be comforting, maybe not.

The calculator wouldn't take 418.
(It expects a number between 130 amd 320)

There is a very animated debated going on about what causes CHD, yeah,
still. I strongly recommend you get the following book from the library,
so that you can know what the debate is about...

Thx.

Oh, my total cholesterol is 300.

Hmmm. We can start a club

When we eat excess carbs,
it gets stored in adipose, in liver and in muscles.
If it isn't cleared, it shows up in blood measurements as high blood
glucose.

When we eat excess fats, how is it stored?
If the amount eaten exceeds that which we can burn,
does the body package the extra in LDLs
and this shows up in the blood test?

When we eat excess protein, how is it stored?
I imagine some of it converted to glycogen and glucose by the liver.
Some enters cell to be burned.
Does the excess mostly stay in the blood?
How would we even know we have excess protein?
Is there a common blood measurement for this?
