^Came to say this.

Triglycerides are, conceptually, ONE sugar molecule with THREE fat molecules bristling out in various directions. In other words, the sugar binds the fat into indigestible lumps. The more double bonds, the 'harder' the molecule is to break down into 'digestible' or 'transportable' bits.

It's more complicated than that, because it depends what 'kind of fat" is tied up with the sugary bit. The mantra for the last forty years has been to consume polyunsaturated instead of saturated fats. Theory being that lard and tallow were 'bad', because animal fat, or something. They were adamant with the marketing, and even doctors believed in heart-health = lo-fat.

First problem is that fat has a natural off-button. Try it and see - there is only so much fat you an eat before you are not hungry anymore. Try munching out on butter, for example. I bet you can't get past two whole tablespoons. On the other hand, sugar as no 'off button' - arguably it has a renewal function where you crash and need to have more, at more and more frequent intervals.

The second problem with that defunkt fat-theory is that the polyunsaturated fats are that way, because they have more double bonds, 'linking to itself', instead of 'saturating' with Hydrogen. If you think about that - double bonds are harder to break.

Maybe, just maybe, the saturated fats, with the higher boiling points and Hydrogen in every available spot, are good for you, because conceptually the molecule is all soft, as it slides past the artery or cell walls. (and tallow and lard, and eggs etc. ARE safer - please don't use industrially heated 'vegetable oil' which is not even fit to grease engines). Also: Check labels, and cook your own from scratch.

To control the harmful, get rid of the sugar in your blood, and start eating the 'good' fats and everything will start working as intended. That is: running the heart, the hormones and converting the stored energy (your FUPA) into actual muscle energy (via ketosis).

And final note: Giving up sugar can be alarming at first - stock up on Vitamin C to suck, use pickle juice instead of soda (salt/baking soda/ potassium/magnesium/some cider vinegar in plenty of water); AVOID sugar, but also fruits, pasta, breads, because carbs are the second cousin to sugar.

Also suck on a teaspoon of butter if desperate for a candy-bar.

And don't forget to eat MOAR meat, eggs, butter, cheese (if you can handle those dairy bits). Eat enough so you can eat-once-a-day.

Less frequent meals helps with dropping the insulin habit.
