@realDaveFeldman @KerrygoldUSA For your next trick, turn into a Green Dragon Ball Z Alien? This video tags #LMHR and #LEM and since I don't understand what he's saying I'm just going to assume it's that LMHR are from Dragon Ball Z... but my kamehameha appears to be broken! https://t.co/si5pCmqfmr https://t.co/kkD8nKiwFq

It's not always due to a bad lifestyle! Genetics (genes related to Triglyceride metabolism) and family history are also important factors in the development of ⬆️ triglyceride. https://t.co/6W8skHLVGe

@lipo_fan @LowCarbEyeDoc @realDaveFeldman Eric - these are older data from NHANES as well for TG percentiles if you are interested. https://t.co/mkIX1nhQ2s

@GPUWorld @DLBHATTMD @ASPCardio @aacio In 2011 AHA defined the *optimal* upper limit for Tg as 100 mg/dl backed by research from Drs Miller, Ballantyne, et al. Now that there’s rebust supportive data from Reduce-It it’s time to re-visit that recommendation and add it into current guidelines. https://t.co/LTA0i5Ce2d
