The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
we always check these things fasting because we when it comes to measuring the triglyceride we want to eliminate what's in the kylomicron we want to eliminate the immediately absorbed triglyceride from the gut and by doing that we basically capture what you have on this photo when we measure a triglyceride for all intents and purposes we are basically measuring the 90 of triglycerides that are captured within the vldl
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.

you can only learn so much from measuring a fasting triglyceride after a 12 hour overnight fast it's useful it's the way we do it in terms of lipid panels but a lot happens after a fatty meal and a lot of that action is basically over in most people by 12 hours
let's just say they show up in the morning fasted their trigs are 100 milligrams per deciliter HDL is 50 milligrams per deciliter so most people would look at that and say oh that's great person looks super healthy
but they're fasting triglycerides may not necessarily even reflect that the HDL cholesterol does reflect that
