According to the November/December ’12 Well Being Journal, “Not all LDL cholesterol is bad. Good or bad depends on particle size.” What’s more, refined carbohydrates increase triglycerides, in turn increasing the amount of “small low-density LDL” cholesterol, which clogs your artery walls.
“In a cohort study of 53,644 men and women over 12 years [researchers found that] replacing 5 percent of calories from saturated fat with high-glycemic carbohydrates was associated with a whopping 33 percent increase in heart attack occurrence.”
