good and bad cholesterol, HDL and LDL, which is the kind that causes athlerosclerosis or cholesterol artery bl?
blockage? and can someone please explain to me general information about hdl and ldl cholesterols, thank you
ldl cholesterol deposits fats on the artery walls. Hdl carries fats out of the arterial wall for use by the body. A bad ldl is more serious than a bad hdl number. Inflammation in an artery is also a big risk factor. It appears to be a bigger risk than total cholesterol number. A blockage happens when a piece of arterial plaque breaks off the walls and travels. As it gets to a narrow spot it can stop blood flow and cause a stroke or a heart attack. If arterial wall is flexible (not hardening ) then the plaque is stable then it is less chance for a piece of plaque to break off. Oily fish 2- 3 times a week or fish oil capsules every day will keep the blood free flowing and keep clots from forming, same as baby aspirin but much safer.

I believe the Low Density one. Although doctors don’t tell you, Cholesterol is a MUST. Our muscle don’t work without it. An even some believe the covering of the arteries inside by cholesterol, may be a sign that the inside of the artery needs protection.

None of the answers above are correct.
There is no such thing as good and bad cholesterol. Cholesterol is only one substance.
Cholesterol does not cause coronary artery disease. The false idea that it does is one of the greatest scams and myths of the last 50 years.
