Follow your own cravings and needs, whats good today may
be bad tomorrow and visa versa. The best judge for you is
you, enjoy your life; eat drink and be merry, no one lives
forever.

I'll take the risk. Out of control BG is going to cause way more complications for me that a modest rise in risk for cardiovascular events. Before I ate low carb it was almost impossible for me to control my BG, after low carb my A1C is coming down and all my BGs are greatly improved. I guess I'll have to eat more omega-3s to compensate, bring on the salmon!
PS as an added bonus my lipid profile is normal now and before low carb it was totally jacked.
