1/ Reminder: "Lean Mass Hyper-responder" is literally defined as a combination of LDL ≥ 200, HDL ≥ 80, and Triglycerides ≤ 70.
In other words -- by definition -- #LMHRs are not hypertriglyceridemic (high triglycerides). They are the opposite. (See CholesterolCode.com/lmhr)

2/ For example, in the first of this case series a woman is identified as hypertriglyceridemic (triglycerides of 1109). This is if 15 fold higher than the TG max cap of #LMHR.

3/ Moreover, we actually addressed this particular case of hypertriglyceridemia in our Letter to the Editor of this very case series. In fact, it's how we set up the question on what to consider when triglycerides are low instead

4/ It's understandable if some people get confused as many oversimplify "LMHR" as simply "high LDL" when going low carb.
But that not only leaves out the other two components of the profile, it results in lumping it with other profiles like Atherogenic Dyslipidemia.
