> I don't like the idea of high animal fat (too many free radicals formed?), but I have been eating 2 eggs per day for 30 years, and my cholesterol profile is normal. My triglycerides, on the other hand, are very high, but Abilify seems to be the culprit here.

Just a comment, Scott. Free radicals form from the oxidation of unsaturated fats. Animal fats are safer than plant fats in this regard, because of the degree of saturation.

Your body is fully equipped to metabolize saturated fats. Carbs are converted to stearic and palmitic acids, both saturated fats. Unfortunately, carbs stimulate insulin secretion, which blocks saturated fat metabolism entirely. That's the nub, because de novo lipogenesis (new fat creation from sugars) also stimulates those inflammatory cytokines. Dietary saturated fats do not.
