Think you’ve heard it all when it comes to cholesterol? Well, even the most cholesterol-savvy among us may be in for a surprise … it turns out that perhaps the most important aspect has to do with making sure you have enough of it — the good kind, that is.
Cholesterol, of course, is composed of two types: the good “HDL” (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol and the bad “LDL” (low-density lipoprotein) variety.
Most Americans focus on reducing LDL cholesterol as a key part of their treatment regimen. However, a new study found that having too little good cholesterol is at least as damaging when it comes to heart disease as having too much of the bad kind, and it may even be more damaging.
