THERE generally seems to be a great deal of confusion when talking about cholesterol. Among the most commonly asked questions include: What is it? Why does high cholesterol cause cardiovascular diseases and what would be considered a healthy level? How do we maintain healthy cholesterol levels? How can we increase our “good” cholesterol and decrease our “bad” cholesterol? What kind of medications are available in the market? Are there any side effects of these drugs? Are triglycerides a type of cholesterol?
