Can ‘Higher Cholesterol’ Be a Sign of Good Health? What Health Stats Across 160 Countries Show

High LDL (otherwise known as ‘bad’) cholesterol is considered a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, which together claim over 850,000 lives each year in the United States.

Hence, great efforts are expended in identifying high LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol in patients, and in lowering their levels.

But is cholesterol—and LDL cholesterol in particular—really the arch enemy of health that we’ve been led to believe?

“A person that has good, healthy levels of cholesterol means that their biochemical system is working in this particular spot—in terms of cholesterol regulation and (cholesterol) transport,” says biochemical researcher, Dr. Dayan Goodenowe.

“So those individuals are more resilient, and they have better health,” he adds.

Dr. Goodenowe has spent decades building systems for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment across a range of diseases—including autism, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Alzheimer’s disease .

Today, he joins Vital Signs host Brendon Fallon to discuss what research—spanning some 160 countries—reveals about the link between ‘higher cholesterol’ and good health.
