Cholesterol Levels? Cholestoral levels is a common misspelling of cholesterol levels.

Total cholesterol levels under 200 mg/dL are considered healthy. However, people with a healthy total cholesterol level may still have a high LDL or low HDL level, so it is best to think of the total cholesterol as an overview number. LDL levels are the "bad" cholesterol; the more LDL cholesterol you have in your blood, the greater your risk for heart disease. HDL levels are the "good" cholesterol; it is better to have higher HDL cholesterol levels.
