Dave,
My Dad's problem with triglycerides went away after the ever-present candy dish was removed from his TV room. He has increased his excercise to daily, at the gym all but Sunday. He is in pretty good shape for a near 80 year old career marine who smoked 2-3 packs of Pall Malls for forty years, but, isn't going to be running any marathons, soon.
You might want to watch the processed sugar intake.
Best,
Ted
