I'm no doctor, so take what I'm about to say with a ton of salt. Your doctor might disapprove, but salt ain't so bad in reality.

High LDL or high cholesterol doesn't mean anything, per se. The HDL:LDL ratio is a little more important but not so much. Triglycerides and glucose levels are a much bigger indicator of health. Inflammation is the biggest indicator, but AFAIK we do not have ways to measure it directly.

HDL, LDL, cholesterol, triglycerides are fats, but are often not directly correlated with dietary fat. There is more and more evidence triglycerides increases as sugar and refined carbs increase in your diet. This is the biggest misconception in dietary history and we're 20 years away from science and doctors to integrate this new piece of information.
