Your Cholesterol Levels
Your Total Blood (or Serum) Cholesterol
Your HDL (Good) Cholesterol
Your LDL (Bad) Cholesterol

My question is when a are they going to stop labeling LDL as bas.

They nearly say it in this paragraph!

A low LDL cholesterol level is considered good for your heart health. However, your LDL number should no longer be the main factor in guiding treatment to prevent heart attack and stroke, according to the latest guidelines from the American Heart Association. For patients taking statins, the guidelines say they no longer need to get LDL cholesterol levels down to a specific target number. A diet high in saturated and trans fats raises LDL cholesterol.
