       | The video on the page sums up the study in simple terms. For Lean
       | Mass Hyper-Responders, eating a low carb ketogenic diet increases
       | cholesterol levels because the liver is effectively trafficking
       | more fat due to low glycogen levels in the liver. An increase in
       | carbs (from Oreos in this study) dramatically drops the
       | cholesterol levels even more than statins for people with this
       | specific body type.

       | it as well as statins. At home testing devices are great but at
       | $10/test it's hard to test more than once a month.
