Technically speaking, there is no such thing as "bad cholesterol" or "good cholesterol." Did you know, for instance, the most essential nutrient for your heart health: coenzyme q10, without which your heart would stop beating, requires LDL in order to be carried from the liver to the blood to the heart muscle? Cholesterol IS NOT THE CAUSE OF HEART DISEASE! It is simply a epiphenomena, an EFFECT. Yes, in the absence of antioxidants, or the presence of inflammatory processes and proteins, LDL will oxidize and clump up, and can contribute to plaque build up and other problems. But it does not "cause" the inflammation. Drinking homogenized milk, for instance, renders the fat particles small and lets them slip right into the blood, along with a protein splitting enzyme: xanthine oxidase, which scars the arteries. Cholesterol is produced in response to this damage, as mortar, to plug up leaks and manage the scarring. This is why levels will go up. The "firefighter" gets blamed for the fire!

So, yes, low "good cholesterol" is most certainly bad for our health. We know that low "good cholesterol" will increase the risk for cancer and stroke rather dramatically.

We need to get beyond the Drug Company scam of thinking that Low Cholesterol is good for us. Its good for profits, and the health of the "heathcare industry," but very bad for our bodies and lives.

I'm a cardiologist and I believe that low HDL or good cholesterol is associated with the development of cardiac disease and believe most experts in the field would concur. Now, to the question: a low HDL cholesterol is usually genetic. Families with low HDLs tend to develop coronary artery disease and those with high HDLs tend not to do so. In fact, there is an Italian family with an especially good form of HDL that runs very high in their lineage; it is being studied through recombinant techniques and has been shown to actually reverse existing atheroma when infused intravenously. Not available for prime time yet, but maybe in a few years. Good luck.

You can lower your cholesterol by eating a low-fat,low cholesterol diet.Stay away from trans-fats and saturated fats and aim for some polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats,monounsaturated being the healthier choice.
*Bake,boil,broil,poach,roast or steam foods.Don't use fatty sauces.Don't fry.When stir frying,use very little oil.Vegetable oil sprays will keep foods from sticking to the pan.
*Cook more poultry(light meat) and have more fish.Eat lean red meats no more tha three to four times a week.
*Drain all meats on a paper towel after cooking to get rid of extra grease and fat.
*Cook with the smallest amounts of polyunsaturated or monounsaturated oils,aiming for 1 tablespoon or less per dish.Make salad dressings with small amounts of polyunsaturated or monounsaturated oils.
