Cholestral Levels

Were you looking for information about
 Cholesterol Levels? Cholestral levels is a common misspelling of cholesterol levels.
 
There are several different types of cholesterol levels, including LDL cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol) and HDL cholesterol ("good" cholesterol). Total cholesterol levels may be misleading, because a person can have a healthy total cholesterol level and still have a low HDL cholesterol level or a high LDL cholesterol level. A total cholesterol level over 240 mg/dL is high, and a level between 200 and 239 mg/dL is borderline high. A total cholesterol level under 200 mg/dL is ideal.
