There Is Only One Type of Cholesterol: Here’s Why

We keep hearing about different types of cholesterol. It’s all nonsense. There’s only one cholesterol molecule, so there’s only one type of cholesterol. What started this nonsense of types of cholesterol?

'Just how many types of cholesterol are there? The more we’re indoctrinated with the cholesterol-as-poison myth, the more types they seem to find. HDL. LDL. VLDL. And those pesky triglycerides: Are they a type of cholesterol? Here’s the truth:

Previously on this site I have shared evidence which strongly suggests that cholesterol reduction, per se, is not necessarily good for our health, and may even be hazardous. Last week's blog post reported on drugs that, although effective for cholesterol, have singularly failed to improve health and may even have hastened some people's demise.'
