[aposiopetic]

The cholesterol (and yes, it is cholesterol) that is saving these people's lives is called ApoA-Milano.

This is not true. Apo-A is a lipoprotein, not a sterol.

I was wondering about that. Why, then, if I get my cholesterol measured, do they break it into ldl's and hdl's?

According to some of the literature I read, there are only 18 known natural forms of cholesterol.

Cholesterol isn't really the bad guy anyways. It's the oxidation and irritation of the arteries. The cholesterol is the "patch".

BTW, I do have high cholesterol, but my hdl/ldl is pretty good.
