My recent blood test flagged my triglyceride level of 11.2 as being too low. My other values were; Total Cholesterol 143.5, LDL 56.1, HDL 82.4, Albumin 45g/l. Is this abnormal? I don't eat any refined carbohydrates as they make me feel ill (headache, fatigue) and barely eat any carbs at all. Could there be a metabolic problem here?
Thankyou

Excellent article. I live in India, where vegetarians have heart disease with low cholesterol but high triglycerides ! I now understand where these are coming from ! Wheat and snacks , particularly the former since eating it is thought to improve fibre and its glycemic index is lower than say rice . However how does the doctor arrive at 60 mg/dl ? is it based on trials or just conjecture ?
