GOOD & BAD CHOLESTEROL

Cholesterol is transported around the blood in ‘vehicles’ called lipoproteins. There are two types of lipoproteins:

LDL (low density lipoprotein) is the ‘bad’ type of cholesterol. If there is too much LDL cholesterol in the blood, it can slowly build in the arteries, making them narrower which increases the risk of coronary heart diseases. You should aim to lower your levels of LDL by eating healthily and introducing Benecol® foods, with Plant Stanol Ester into your diet.
