What are trigicerides?

Fats: Triglycerides are the types of fats in the blood that are associated with developing atherosclerosis and pancreatitis, best to keep this under 150 on a fasting lab check.

Sugar: When we eat too much sugar (glucose), our body breaks the 6 carbon glucose down to 3 carbon sugar alcohol called glycerol. At this small molecular level, the body bonds 3 fatty acids together thus forming a "triglyceride". Basically how the body stores unused calories.
