Who said it was? LDL stands for Low density lipoprotein which is conveyor of cholesterol.
BTW..Your notion that L raises LDL-C, is mitigated by increasing the particle size is not true.. The general rule which L follows is that gents which raise LDL-C also decrease the particle size and increase LDL-P...the LDL-P particle count being a better predictor of CVD event risk than LDL-C.
This was all discussed back in 2012 and 2013...Too bad you weren't around..
PS..KIWI..don't forget about the AFib warning on the L-Label...OOps
