Also, some people do better with a high level of mono-unsaturated fats than with polyunsaturated fats, because the PUFAS (most vegetable oils) are very high in omega 6 fatty acids that cause whole-body inflammation. You might also need some longer-chain saturated fatty acids to reduce inflammation. In general, low-carb diets are better than low-fat at reducing LDL.
Hey Suzanne, just came across this post on Biometric Screening that gives up to date info as of 2021. Hope it helps give some more clarity on the whole 'Biometric Screening' stuff!
