Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HDL (High-density lipoprotein) is commonly referred to as the "good" cholesterol as it carries cholesterol away from tissues and back to the liver, where it can be processed and eliminated from the body. It is recommended to maintain high levels of HDL in the blood to protect against heart disease. Insulin and insoluble fiber do not play a role in carrying cholesterol away from tissues, while LDL (low-density lipoprotein) carries cholesterol to tissues and can contribute to the development of heart disease if levels become too high.
