LDL cholesterol isn’t a good indication of mortality risk, but remnant cholesterol is.

1:45 Your body creates too much risky remnant cholesterol because of these factors

I want to introduce you to something called remnant cholesterol. It’s a more accurate indication of mortality risk than LDL cholesterol. You can look up a gentleman named Dave Feldman, who has done a significant amount of research on this topic.

There’s so much emphasis on LDL cholesterol being the “bad” cholesterol, but remnant cholesterol is way more important! Not only is it a better indication of mortality risk, it’s way more atherogenic; that is, it creates plaque and problems in your arteries.

Remnant cholesterol is the plasma cholesterol — that is, the plasma in your blood — that’s not HDL or LDL cholesterol. You may think that total cholesterol is the combination of HDL and LDL cholesterol, but it’s not. And the way to find your remnant cholesterol is to subtract your HDL and LDL cholesterol amounts from your total cholesterol amount. Then compare your result against this scale:

● Less than 17 is optimal
● 18-23 is okay
● 24-29 is concerning
● Greater than 30 is very concerning

If you have too much sugar, carbohydrates, or insulin, your body will create a lot more remnant cholesterol. Another way to look at it is that you have too much concentrated, stored energy that spills over and results in remnant cholesterol.

When you get your cholesterol test results, it’s important to do the calculations to find out your remnant cholesterol amount. This helps you look at the big picture and understand what’s happening in your body. Don’t simply focus on your LDL cholesterol score.
