Trigs are created by the liver from excess glucose as 100% saturated fat and packaged in VLDL.  The more trigs, the more VLDL there is.  VLDL remnants are what are converted to LDL.  More trigs means more VLDL and therefore more small dense LDL.The more trigs there are the risk for heart disease increases.Excess glucose (e.g. insulin resistance) is what causes heart attacks.</blockquote>
