      Right. Hearing the truth is a fairytale these days. Sugar is the leading cause of heart disease and heart failure not good cholesterol/LDL. The history of the cholesterol studies are proven to be a botched study that was paid for by the Sugar industry. It's 100% documented Fact. Ne studies are being done now by Cardiologist and all the early studies are already showing high LDL levels are good for the human body. Our Government committed fraud .

    This is super helpful! I’m about to request my bloodwork so I now know the things I really want to ask to have checked and what they actually mean...

    This was awesome! I just had my CBC done and I was able to follow along with my blood work when he was breaking everything down! Loved this!
