The researchers’ findings contradict the so-called “cholesterol hypothesis,” which says that cardiovascular disease starts in middle age as a result of the buildup of LDL cholesterol, gets worse with age, and leads to death from cardiovascular disease. According to the findings of this review,...
Familial combined hyperlipidemia:People with this inherited condition (passed on from one or both parents) have trouble processing cholesterol. That means HDL cholesterol can be too low and LDL can be too high. Metabolic syndrome:If you have metabolic syndrome, low HDL may be part of it. Multip...

What is generally being discussed when we hear these terms is LDL and HDL. These are not cholesterol. These are lipoproteins. These are cholesterol transporters. Low Density Lipoprotein and High Density Lipoprotein. I use the analogy of 2 bus routes. One bus takes people from the town centre ...
