Default How To Lower Cholesterol on Low-Carb Diet?

Not necessarily different people, perhaps different timing. It's my
understanding that it tends to go up at first, then come down after a few
months. Not that it really matters, anyway, as there is current research
showing cholesterol doesn't cause heart attacks. It's inflammation that
triggers deposits.
