Ldl
Cholesterol
Too
much LDL, commonly called "bad cholesterol," can lead
to cardiovascular disease.
LDL
can be reduced by 18% to 55%. The potent statins can
reduce LDL levels even further. 2
LDL,
is formed primarily by the breakdown of VLDL. LDL contains
little triglycerides and a large amount of cholesterol
(60-70% of a person's total cholesterol).
LDL
cholesterol can build up on the inside of artery walls,
contributing to artery blockages that can lead to heart
attacks. Higher LDL cholesterol levels mean higher risk.
Always CONSULT
YOUR DOCTOR AND DIETICIAN first about lowering cholestrol
