You ought to be aware that in fact cholesterol does not clog your arteries unless there is something for it to attach to in your arteries in the very first place. Existence of such a rough surface results from inflammation due to excessive homocysteine levels.

Briefly, excessive homocysteine levels cause irritation (sub-clinical inflammation) in the artery cell walls and it is on the rough surfaces thus caused, and are now protruding in the artery cavity, to which ldl cholesterol attaches as it courses through the arteries as part of your blood stream. That causes restriction of the space needed by your bloodstream as it circulates, hence the heart now has to pump harder in an attempt to get the bloodstream volume moving, and right there is your high blood pressure. Atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis are also right here, as is heart attack or stroke, all from the same origin, but for the sake of profits they are handled as if they are all different.

Reader, you do know that your normal body temperature is 37 degrees Centigrade (98.4 degrees Fahrenheit) and cholesterol melts at 149 degrees Centigrade. Now then, suppose that some cholesterol has accumulated in your arteries causing a partial dam-like effect, so that you are still able to move about. It would certainly help to lower that cholesterol if you could liquefy it or melt it. By the way, you never ever want your total cholesterol levels too low, you could kick the bucket as a result of too low cholesterol. But done naturally, nature has automatic safeguards.

Already then,as reported in the Journal of American Oil Chemist's Society, it was F.A. Vanderheuvel, a Canadian clinical researcher who found that cholesterol becomes very soluble in your bloodstream provided there is enough Lecithin there.

That clinical research was replicated at the Boston University by D.L. Small, who reconfirmed the findings of the Canadian researcher, that both fat-protein molecules HDL and LDL, that transport cholesterol, do contain lecithin. The fat protein portion of HDL has twice as much lecithin as that of ldl.

Take a look at this nature's miracle, those fats in HDL are 53% lecithin and 27% cholesterol while fats in the LDL are only 29% lecithin and a high 45% cholesterol. Obviously the HDL portion of your cholesterol has a much higher content of beneficial lecithin.

Now reader, do you see the origins of the nicknames "good cholesterol" for hdl and "bad cholesterol" for ldl? Interesting, isn't it?

Yes, you have guessed correctly that you do not hear about nature's miracles such as this, because it cannot be patented.
