While I'm wanging on about my blood test results, my triglycerides have dropped from 2.18 two and a half years ago to 1.31 mmol/L ( good < 1.70) despite eating loads of butter and cream. They're not the problem. Drastically reducing stuff like bread and refined sugars (and increasing veg and fibres) seems to work for me.

They're a way better biomarker for bad outcomes than LDL cholesterol btw

"The medical term for male testosterone deficiency is hypogonadism" which basically means shrivelled bollocks to me, so I'm pretty glad I don't have that.

Ah, units are:

Testostérone : 15,98 nmol/L (ok range - 7,66−24,82)

Some sites use nmol/dl, so multiply the above by 10 for them. And they seem to reckon it should be higher, even for a 60-year old. I'm calling BS, and they're probably just looking for lucrative business. My muscle gaining capacity is still rather good when I can be bothered stringing a few sessions in the home gym together.
