I was at a BBQ last year where I asked for extra cheese on my buger and someone there asked me seriously if I knew that that would raise my cholesterol. If I knew what I know now I could have had a conversation wih that person asking them which specific type of cholesterol would have been raised and how would that have affected my trygliceride level

Also triglyceride count as a much stronger indicator of health was good to know.
