The body creates cholesterol because it is CRUCIAL to human health. Every cell membrane in your body is made of cholesterol. Every hormone in your body is made of cholesterol. Blocking cholesterol will result in dis-ease in your body.
When any part of your body needs cholesterol (such as new cells that need a membrane), the liver sends cholesterol to those areas of the body that need it. This is the LDL.
When various parts of your body have more than needed, then the body sends the excess back to the liver for recycling. This is the HDL.
The only real difference between the two is directional. Neither is harmful. Both are helpful -- and necessary.
HDL/LDL is a scam.
It is all cholesterol.
But each has a different role.
