Are wallnuts a source of LDL?
Wallnuts don't contain LDL, by the contrary, they decrease the Low Density Lipid levels, which is known as the bad cholesterol. LDL is produced by the liver when the HDL level is low. It isn't a fat that makes part of any food. LDL level in the blood stream is optimum when below of 100 mg/dl. HDL level is desirable when over 35/40 mg/dl. Wallnuts have many others fantastic medicinal properties.
Cholesterol that is known as LDL is known as what?
LDL stands for "Low-Density Lipoprotein," but those words don't really mean anything to people besides doctors. All you need to know is that LDL Cholesterol is BAD CHOLESTEROL.It's HDL Cholesteral that is GOOD CHOLESTEROL. Remember: H for Healthy, L for LOWER IT. The higher your LDL Cholesterol is, the worse off you are health-wise.

Low density lipoprotein (LDL) is the "bad cholesterol". It is the type of cholesterol that builds up in the walls of arteries and causes vascular disease.

How can cholesterol be stopped?
Your body needs some cholesteral. What is inmportant is that you have more good then bad. there is ldl and hdl. ldl is bad hdl is good. You can lower your bad levels by eating a more healthy diet, olive oil fish or fish oils, less of the bad like beef or pork fat or margerine.
Your total cholesterol is 250 how is it?
That is too high. I believe the optimal Cholesteral is 180 but you also have to watch your LDL and HDL levels too. I would highly recommend changing your diet and continue seeing your doctor to reduce these levels. I helped my husband lower his Cholesteral levels. Some of the Cholesteral levels are inherited and some from how you eat. My family history has high Cholesteral, yet 3 of us kids have very low levels, so I believe what you eat can have an impact. My site started out as a way to help Stop Constipation but turned out to be great tips and recipes. I LOST 20 pounds following this plan.
What is a safe score for your cholesterol?
For most people a total cholesterol of 200 and an LDL (low density lipoprotien - "bad cholesterol") of 130 is desirable.
