When it comes to cardiovascular matters, modern medicine affirms that Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (as opposed to HDL - the High-Density Lipoprotein - or the "good" cholesterol) causes clogged arteries that can subsequently lead to coronary heart disease (CHD.)

While this precept is already widely accepted by health authorities and medical practitioners as a truism, numerous pockets of evidence are now raising questions as to LDL's reputation as purely the bad cholesterol.
