Control of blood sugar in the body is very important to control all parameters like cholesterol. It is not the dietary fat that increase the cholesterol but it is blood sugar that is responsible. Here is an interesting article.

All carbohydrates are absorbed as sugar. And when blood sugar levels go up (like after eating a bagel), the body responds by releasing insulin. Insulin is a vital hormone that makes sure sugar is stored in our bodies for use between meals. But it doesn’t just cause sugar to be stored. It shifts our bodies into storage mode in general.

And what’s the storage form of cholesterol? LDL, bad cholesterol. If insulin levels go up, LDL goes up. What’s the non-storage form of cholesterol? HDL, good cholesterol. If insulin levels go up, HDL goes down. And what if you’ve stored all the sugar you can and there’s still excess circulating in your blood stream? Insulin helps turn that sugar into fat. The result? Triglyceride levels go up.
