Editorial commentary: Dietary management of familial chylomicronemia syndrome

- FCS is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe hypertriglyceridemia.
- Triglycerides may be substantially lowered by restricting dietary fat to <15% of the total daily caloric intake.
- Although standard lipid-lowering therapies are generally ineffective in patients with familial chylomicronemia syndrome, triglyceride may be significantly lowered through strict adherence to a very low fat diet.
