Fat and Heart disease.
Why Carbohydrate is the bad boy, not fat, as simply put as it can be.
The fat you eat is not turned into bad stuff in the blood.
The bad stuff in the blood is made by the liver (this has different lab characteristics)
The liver makes this as a response to carbohydrates (starch and sugar) in the diet.
The bad stuff in the blood is NOT what primarily gives you heart disease but acts as a marker for it possibly being present.
The carbohydrate with the resultant high blood sugar AND high insulin is the side-effect which produces the arterial disease.
One sentence then:
Excess carbohydrate raises blood sugar and insulin which in the course of time, damages arteries and the liver changes the blood lipids which may act as a marker for the damage, but the dietary intake of GOOD lipids is not involved.
