What are the different types of cholesterol?
- One type, LDL, is sometimes called the « bad » cholesterol. A high LDL level leads to a buildup of cholesterol in your arteries. Another type, HDL, is sometimes called the « good » cholesterol. It carries cholesterol from other parts of your body back to your liver.
