High LDL cholesterol can also be acquired secondary to excess dietary intake of saturated fat and cholesterol; hence, a detailed dietary history should betaken.
HDL-cholesterol is considered good cholesterol, because higher blood levels of HDL-cholesterol are associated with lower risk of heart disease.

Zhang Xian Qian,

Chitosan is also known to function as an agent for cholesterol control due to its demonstrated ability to attract and bind fat and inhibit LDL cholesterol before it can get to your bloodstream and work its damage.
LDL cholesterol attaches itself to your artery wall and creates 'plaque' which can ultimately accumulate and create a blockage in your arteries resulting in a heart attack, or stroke if some of the capillaries in your brain become blocked and parts of your brain are starved for blood.
It is an important antioxidant, guarding LDL cholesterol from free radical damage that transforms it from a benign blood fat to an aggressive artery blocker.
