When you eat too much sugar, your liver makes more LDL while lowering the amount of HDL in your body. The extra calories from a sugary diet also leads to more of something called triglycerides, a type of blood fat that plays a role in your cholesterol health.
Does sugar cause cholesterol to rise?
Diets high in sugar make your liver synthesize more “bad” LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol. A sugary diet lowers your “good” HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol. Excess sugar profoundly raises your triglycerides (a type of blood fat).
How does sugar affect LDL cholesterol?
Eating sugar and other carbohydrates raises triglycerides and lowers HDL. It also causes dysfunctional alterations in LDL molecules. LDL levels may seem normal, but this dysfunctional LDL can cause rapid clogging of arteries and increased risk for thrombosis.
