I know it doesn’t ‘cause’ it, per se, but it’s still a ‘factor’ (or can be, rather) yet it seems some disagree with that description.

    Your body uses macronutrients in an order that I presume is most to least dangerous

    1st: alcohol

    2nd: sugars/carbohydrates

    3rd: fat

    Hardly at all: protein

    The fat problem comes from eating a high fat, high carb diet, where the carbohydrate load prevents use of the fats.

    Fats are carried around your body in low density lipoprotein (LDL cholesterol). When the fat is used it’s fine the LDL is regularly emptied, renewed, refilled. When fat usage is suppressed by carbohydrates the LDL is never emptied, never renewed, never refilled. The LDL fails and breaks into small fragmentary LDL. The SDLDL is the stuff that fucks you up

      This a gym bro explanation, but many cultures eat a high carb diet and don’t get fat or diabetic. What you do and how much you eat matter.

        You’re saying high fat high carb isn’t bad because some places have high carb low fat diets and do fine. That doesn’t follow.
