(Middle row, left and right) The group listens as Amanda goes over what cholesterol is and how high levels of small dense VLDL cholesterol, caused primarily by eating refined grains and sugars, can lead to heart disease and stroke. She added that fats, including saturated fats, are not associated with heart disease.
