Link to one of the best articles I’ve ever seen on understanding your lipid profile

As-salaamu alaikum rahmatullahi wa barakaatu.

Ever felt confused about the terms HDL, LDL, Triglycerides, VLDL and total cholesterol on your lipid profile?

In searching for information to simplify and accurately explain the lipid profile for a lecture at the Claxton Bay jamaat I came accross this link which brilliantly makes the mysterious lipid profile very clear for those of you not satisfied with the simple explanation that HDL is good cholesterol and LDL is bad cholesterol.

It’s really written for curious readers who want a detailed understanding of the ins- and- outs of cholesterol in their bodies. If you’re not that curious you’ll find it too technical. And if you’re looking for advice on managing your lipid profile practically then this article is not it either. But for the curious:

The article is called “A crash course in lipoproteins.”
