Compared with the low-fat group, Atkins dieters also had lower levels
of triglycerides, potentially harmful blood sugars which can trigger
heart disease. Concentrations of beneficial high density cholesterols
(HDLs) also held up better in the Atkins group. And these favourable
changes remained till the end of the study, suggesting that there
might be lasting benefits.

Andy I saw this on the news today (and last night), where they covered this
subject.

Thanks for posting this here.

It reflects my own experience as well.
