What is a healthy cholesterol level for everyone?
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.

What are LDL levels?
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. For most people a desirable level is 130 but whether to treat with medications varies widely between 70 and 190 depending on your other risk factors.

We often shoot for an LDL of less than 100 for certain high risk people such as those who have vascular disease and diabetes and we often tolerate LDL's of 160-190 in low risk people.

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.
