Why High Triglycerides Are More Dangerous Than You Think

Triglycerides are often overlooked.

Yet elevated triglycerides are one of the strongest predictors of:

• Insulin resistance
• Fatty liver
• Cardiovascular disease
• Pancreatitis

What Are Triglycerides?

4

Triglycerides are fat molecules circulating in your blood.

When elevated, they indicate:

• Excess sugar intake
• Insulin resistance
• Liver overload

Why They’re Dangerous

1. Increase small dense LDL
2. Promote inflammation
3. Increase clotting risk
4. Indicate fatty liver

Optimal triglycerides:
Below 100 mg/dL

The Insulin Connection

High insulin drives triglyceride production in the liver.

This creates a cycle:
Insulin → Triglycerides → Inflammation → Artery damage
