If it's VLDL triglycerides, reduce your *simple* sugar intake
(all the sweet stuff). Complex carbs, and to some degree,
refined carbs are ok.

does beer/wine intake raise VLDL ?

Alcohol is an exception to the 'simple carb' rule,
so beer (unless it has extra sugar added) and wine
won't raise VLDL.

All alcohol will raise triglycerides and people should refrain from drinking
alcohol before doing lipid panels.

Hi Steve,
I know exactly how you feel, scary isn't it?
I am 50 years old and was diagnosed with High Colestrol, High Blood
Pressure and Type 2 Diabetes only 2 months ago, don't panic, worst
thing you can do. My doctor prescribed Natrilix SR for my blood
pressure, Diabex to lower the glucose level and I cut out anything with
sugar in it.Also he suggested a off prescription product called
Transfer Factor Plus and TF Cardio. I get a little exercise walking but
since taking the Transfer Factor products I bounced back into good
health with mountains of energy I have not had since my early 40's.My
last patholgy test showed all my levels back to normal.If you would
like to know more just drop me a line I'd love to help you if you would
like, I feel on top of the world now.JJ

I just had a annual "lab work" blood test done and observed that my
triglycerides are slightly out of range, higher than normal (300 or so)
while my Chloresterol is 180. The lab results do not delineate "good"
or "bad" cholesterol.

I am healthy in all aspects and work out and walk routinely. No fast
foods.

Is this something to worry about? Is a stroke/heart attack/end of the
world pending?

How can one reduce triglycerides?

Very high triglycerides (which yours are!) can actually mask high cholesterol.
Conventional tests will report your cholesterol to be lower, possibly much
lower, than it actually is, based on particle counts. Related to that, high
triglycerides are generally a good indicator that HDL is low and that the LDL
particle distribuions are more dangerous than normal ("Pattern B"😉.

Reducing carbohydrates, eating fatty fish or taking fish oil supplements,
losing weight if you have any excess body fat, etc. can reduce TG. You should
follow up with your physician.

There are 'good' and 'bad' triglycerides. Pouta was inquiring
about VLDL, which alcohol WON'T raise, but in fact lowers,
hence the favorable effect on CVD and blood glucose (in
addition to polyphenols present in some alcoholic beverages).

Yes.

Not optimal.

That would be unusual since you have been given a triglycerides reading.

You might have metabolic syndrome (MetS).

Quoted message said:

If you have MetS, you would be at higher risk for the former two.

By having your MetS addressed. Would suggest you consult your doctor
about this possibility.

Alcohol raises VLDL1.
High risk profile includes a VLDL1 +2 greater than 20 mg/dl
Also a VLDL3 small remnant fraction of greater than 10 mg/dl.
VAP profile expanded lipid testing.
