My triglycerides are very high, trying to cut down on sugars?!

A while back, my triglycerides were so high that my doctor couldn't even get a valid read on my cholesterol since triglycerides turn into cholesterol, so, he and my wife put me on a serious "low sugar" diet, which includes fish oil caps!. Of course, the amount of sugar snacks I can eat have been cut wwaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!.!.!. back, and at first I didn't think I could make it, but, on the very next visit to my doctor I dropped 16 pounds and my triglycerides had dropped BIG TIME, from something like 1130 to 350, and so the doctor could get a valid read on my cholesterol, which was a bit higher than he liked, so, the regimen was still on!. Since I retired early, I'm out in the woods daily, doing one thing or another, and losing more weight and keeping my triglycerides and cholesterol further down and well within the okay range!. My wife uses Splenda on whatever she needs to sweeten, BUT, let me tell you of another sweetener that is used by a lot of companies that has no sugar and no splenda!. It's called sugar alcohol, and it's NOT sugar!. It is absolutely the most sugar tasting sweetener I've ever had, and my most favorite treat is Russell-Stover's chocolate after-dinner mints!. They're almost too good to believe!. Also, I love these wafer cookies that are vanilla flavored, and have sugar alcohol in them, and you'd swear they have sugar in them, but sugar alcohol is NOT sugar, but you'd almost swear it was!. Also I love chewing gum, and my favorite is Trident's Splash Peppermint Swirl, and I swear to you that you'd never know it was sugar free, but it has sugar alcohol instead!. There is one "fault" in sugar alcohol though, and I forget where I read it but, you can't eat a lot of it at once or you'll be in the restroom with diarrhea!. A smaller "overdose" will cause gas!. But, the advantage to all that is that it helps me cut down the sweets I still have in order to avoid the gas and diarrhea!. I do take one of those gas relief over-the-counter medicines, and that makes things better, but you still have to avoid binging on sugar alcohol!. It will give you those problems I mentioned above!. So, Splenda when we have to, and sugar alcohol when I can!. And don't forget the exercise, which I get a good dose of almost every day!. God Bless you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
