What should you do if you suspect that you have small LDL particles (the number one cause for heart disease in the U.S.!)?
Perhaps you have one or more of the telltale features (see Who's got small LDL) that commonly signal small LDL. Maybe your doctor actually thought to check for it with a...
I understand how sugars and starch that easily breaks down into sugar during digestion can increase the number of small, dense LDL. I assume this is not a concern with the soluble/insulable fiber content in whole grrain products. But what about that component of starch that is "resistant starch" (which functions like fiber) that passess into the large intestine and has positive health benefits?
Q - Would the whole grain products high in resistant starch be OK to consume in moderation to benefit from their nutrient content?
