Cholesterol Is Not the Bad Guy Cholesterol is a waxy substance, defined by the lipoprotein that carries it to and from the blood cell. The two types the Doctors have been concerned about are: Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL). LDL takes the cholesterol into the cell and HDL takes it out of the cell.

If this happens, it would be sensible to get checked by a GP.
