LDL (low-density lipoprotein) is known as "bad" cholesterol because it can contribute to the buildup of plaques in blood vessels, leading to atherosclerosis. HDL (high-density lipoprotein) is known as "good" cholesterol because it helps remove excess cholesterol from the blood and may protect against heart disease.
