So I know that getting gingivitis can cause heart disease and stroke but when people tell you that information they never tell you how or why which is really baffling.

What’s the deal with smokes and heart disease?

My sister says your total cholesterol should be your HDL + LDL. However, on my last blood test, my HDL + LDL was 10 points lower than my total cholesterol. So, I found some web sites that have the following formula:
HDL + LDL + (Triglyceride * 20%) = Total Cholesterol
The formula above does work to give me my total cholesterol given the other #’s (HDL, LDL, and Triglycerides) on my last blood test results. But, I want to know why my sister’s always come back as:
HDL + LDL = Total Cholesterol
Some web sites say to calculate it one way and others say the other way. Anyone know why they would be different?
