I've larned some new things. You mentioned "High-dose Niacin & Fish Oils reduce serum triglycerides by inhibiting the conversion of excess serum glucose into fatty acids (which are esterified into triglycerides). Unfortunately, this increases serum glucose (which is bad)." I supposed you must have seen some reports on this. I'm very interested to see the ones on fish oil if you can provide some references.
