Moderate alcohol consumption increases "good" cholesterol (HDL)and lowers "bad" cholesterol (LDL).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that consuming moderate amounts of alcohol, specifically red wine, can increase HDL cholesterol levels (which helps remove LDL cholesterol from the arteries) and lower LDL cholesterol levels (which contributes to plaque buildup in the arteries). However, excessive alcohol consumption can have the opposite effect and increase LDL cholesterol levels. It is also important to note that consuming excessive amounts of alcohol can have negative effects on overall health.
