Cholesterol isn’t a poison, it’s an essential building block!
You likely know that there are two types of cholesterol: HDL and LDL. LDL cholesterol is often referred to as “bad” cholesterol, but the truth is that there are also two types of LDL: small, dense LDL and large, buoyant LDL.
Small, dense LDL particles can cause inflammation and other problems, but this typically occurs only when your glucose is high or you have insulin resistance.
If you’re on a low-carb diet and you don’t have insulin resistance, you’ll have more large, buoyant LDL. If you have high levels of large, buoyant LDL, it is not harmful!
