In my blood test result, under cholesterol, besides Triglycerides snd HDL, it has LDL, which I know is bad cholesterol, it has in parentheses (calc) and the number 135.4 mg/dl. I read that the number should be below 100, but my result was not flagged. Everything else in the cholesterol was normal. 2 following.
LDL is the main source of artery-clogging plaque. HDL, on the other hand, works to clear cholesterol from your blood. In addition to LDL and HDL, there is another kind of fat in your blood called triglycerides. Research shows that high levels of triglycerides, just like high levels of LDL, are linked to heart disease.
