That's not avoidant attachment. An avoidant inherently believes noone will meet their needs, that others can't be relied upon or trusted and so is highly self-contained. They neither give prosocial behaviour nor expect it.

What you're describing is just normal behaviour (although you are a score keeper).

What the abstract actually says: "Endothelial function after high-sugar food ingestion is improved by endurance exercise performed on the previous day"

But, I wasn't referring to this when I said it's not that simple. I was referring to your comment about eating less fat means eating more sugar.

It's not damage that allows LDL into the artery. There are proteins that carry it across.

That's part of the picture, yes. There are still a lot of unknowns but what we do know is that both the glycation and oxidation of LDL reduce its ability to be recognised for recycling by the liver. Higher circulating LDL means higher risk of it entering into the artery wall where macrophages gorge on them resulting in foam cells.

LDL is called the bad cholesterol because it can clog your arteries. Saturated fats can trigger your liver to make far more LDL than it would normally do. LDL isn't really "bad" - it's just the 'bad' part of a problem - an imbalance of lipoproteins. It's bad to have too much if you don't have enough HDL to clean it up.

But you're right, carbs can influence cholesterol negatively. You need to keep your carbs as unprocessed and complex as possible.

The whole cholesterol = heart attack thing is kinda old school now. We live and learn.
