Please stop worry about the triglycerides, these levels especially when isolated do not cause any major issues and are mainly due to higher amounts of simple carbohydrate & sugar consumption in the body. Just ensure that he doest eat the egg yellow and also avoid excessive sweets or sweet containing products like biscuits, pastries etc & sweetened drinks like coke or packaged juices.
