Cholesterol and fats are vital components of our body’s physiology, essential for hormone production, cellular structure, and energy. However, imbalances, such as elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. It’s crucial to recognize that not all LDL particles are harmful; small, dense LDL particles are more atherogenic, while large, fluffy LDL particles are considered less harmful. Statins, commonly prescribed for cholesterol imbalances often carry risks that doctors don’t disclose.
