It might be an indicator of other problems, but it's not clear that it's causative. Start reading _Good Calories, Bad Calories_ and go from there.

It's been a while since I've read that book, but I seem to remember Taubes argued that LDL cholesterol could plausibly have a negative effect on cardiovascular health and that VLDL cholesterol had a extremely negative effect on cardiovascular health. Am I misremembering?

Those are scientifically accepted ideas, but I haven't read Taubes' book. If he didn't say it, maybe you heard it elsewhere.
