Best Answer

Total cholesterol includes the good, or HDL, High Density LipoProtein, and the bad, LDL, Low Density Lipoprotein. A few things affect the total number. Saturated Fat, fat found in animal products (and coconut and palm oils), and cholesterol, only found in animal products, affect the total cholesterol.
