Your body also converts some substances -- sugar and alcohol in particular -- to triglycerides. If using Splenda, an artificial sweetener, helps you reduce the amount of sugar in your diet, you could enjoy lower levels of triglycerides.
Then triglyceride levels usually increase as your weight increases. Excess calories, especially from sugar and alcohol are one of the causes of high triglycerides. Alcohol increases your liver's production of triglycerides and reduces the amount of fat cleared from your blood. Also, high fat foods increase your triglycerides. For example, red meat, dairy products.
