HDL= Good Cholesterol, LDL = Bad Cholesterol
my cholesterol is overall 168, but my LDL is 99 and my HDL is 48... is this good or bad?
LDL is the bad cholesterol. LDL stands for low density lipoprotein cholesterol. LDL is produced in the liver and carries antioxidants and amino acids to other cells.
ldl (low density lipid) is bad cholestrol.
well there are two types of cholesterol:1) LDL (Low - density cholesterol) which is bad cholesterol2) HDL (high- density cholesterol) which is good cholesterol and it helps get rid of LDL
There are different types of cholesterol, LDL and HDL. HDL is the good cholesterol, the higher it is, the better it is for you. LDL is the bad cholesterol, which meant the lower it is, the better for your health.
LDL cholesterol is also known as "bad cholesterol," and it is found in red meats, such as pork and beef. HDL is known as "good cholesterol," and is found in foods such as fruits and vegetables.
Obviously there is no desirable (bad) cholesterol level.
I believe you mean LDL. LDL is considered bad because it is highly correlated with the development of atherosclerosis.
Unsaturated fats typically is associated with lowering "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and raising "good" cholesterol (HDL)
Unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, Lowers your bad cholesterol LDL
LDL and HDL both refer to cholesterol. The difference is that LDL is known and the "bad" cholesterol and "HDL" is known as the good" cholesterol. One may learn more about cholesterol at WebMD.
