Nous avons plusieurs types de cholestérol dans le corps et tous ne sont pas nocifs. Le cholestérol LDL (cholestérol à lipoprotéines de basse densité) est le « mauvais » cholestérol, car il bloque les artères, alors que le cholestérol HDL (lipoprotéine de haute densité) est le « bon » cholestérol, car il diminue les risques de blocage des artères. 4, record 1, French, - cholest%C3%A9rol%20%C3%A0%20lipoprot%C3%A9ines%20de%20faible%20densit%C3%A9
