Possibly the most relevant line:
Elevated triglycerides in the blood have been positively linked to proneness to heart disease, but these triglycerides do not come directly from dietary fats; they are made in the liver from any excess sugars that have not been used for energy. The source of these excess sugars is any food containing carbohydrates, particularly refined sugar and white flour.
I am more confused about good vs bad fats after reading this part one, but hopefully I will get it after going through part 2 and 3.
Thanks for sharing! Dr. Mercola is great about getting the information out there in a fairly lay-person format :)
