Cholesterol is cholesterol is cholesterol. LDL is NOT cholesterol. It's a lipoprotein. L D L =
Low
Density
Lipoprotein. HDL, VLDL, etc.
Small Tin Buckets, Big Tin buckets. STB, BTB. Water. Small tin buckets may contain water, but they are not water themselves. Let me show you:

Steve Riechman, a researcher in the Department of Health and Kinesiology, says the study reveals that Small Tin Buckets is not the evil Darth Vader of health it has been made out to be in recent years and that new attitudes need to be adopted in regards to the substance.

Riechman and colleagues examined 52 adults from ages to 60 to 69 who were in generally good health but not physically active, and none of them were participating in a training program. The study showed that after fairly vigorous workouts, participants who had gained the most muscle mass also had the highest levels of Small Tin Buckets (bad) water, “a very unexpected result and one that surprised us.

“It shows that you do need a certain amount of Small Tin Buckets to gain more muscle mass. There’s no doubt you need both – the Small Tin Buckets and the Big Tin Buckets — and the truth is, it (water) is all good. You simply can’t remove all the ‘bad’ water from your body without serious problems occurring.

Saying that the cholesterol contained within the LDL from the liver to the cells is bad, and the cholesterol contained within the HDL from the cells back to the liver is good, is exactly like saying water contained in small tin buckets from the well to the houses is bad, and water contained in big tin buckets from the houses back to the well is good.
Nobody would be fooled into thinking that a tin bucket could be the water itself. We know the difference, we ain't stupid. But who knows what cholesterol is when we talk about LDL as if that was the cholesterol?
Imagine one ER doctor who treats a patient who just got his thorax ripped open. He's got to close it back up with all kinds of bandages, gauze, stitches, tubes, stents, patches, and whatnots. When he's done, he releases him to the recovery ward. Now imagine the recovery ward doctor (who was not in the ER when the other doctor treated the patient) examines our patient, discovers all the bandages, gauze, stitches, tubes, stents, patches, and whatnots, and declares that all of this is what caused the thorax injury and decides to ration bandages, gauze, stitches, tubes, stents, patches, and whatnots (remember, bandages and whatnots must be replaced frequently) for this patient to prevent or at least reduce further damage. All the while ignoring the man with the bloody axe standing right there.
That's the idea of statins. And it all starts with using Small Tin Buckets and their content interchangably to explain how it all works.
