We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.
spare me the nonce and stop using its observed term has no meeting you're miss educating patients if you tell them it's good cholesterol because they use that because they're measuring HDL cholesterol and a blood is a marker that I'm in good shape or not
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

therefore it is totally erroneous to say hdl is good cholesterol and ldl is bad cholesterol no instead what is true is that ldls themselves as lipoproteins are bad actors because of what they do
therefore it is totally erroneous to say HDL is good cholesterol and LDL is bad cholesterol no instead what is true is that ldls themselves as lipoproteins are Bad actors because of what they do what they do is they go into artery walls where they get oxidized and they basically dump their oxidized sterile contents into the sub endothelial space which elicits an immune response and a whole bunch of other things that lead to atherosclosures which I'm not going to get into now but the point of this discussion that I want people to understand that ldls and hdls are lipoproteins if you want to talk about the cholesterol you talk about LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol but the cholesterol in them is the exact same and there is no such thing as good cholesterol or bad cholesterol
