I have always had very normal cholesterol numbers. It gives you a better HDL (good chol) to LDL(bad chol, maybe) ratio and is good for lowering triglycerides (definitely bad chol) which is the worst type of cholesterol. Your information is not true and is a common misconception about the diet.

also try to search "ldl blood test" on r/keto, there are tons of people report much higher ldl after switching to keto.

In my observation there are many contradicting studies about LDL and keto, for example this study's results show significant increase in LDL while on keto: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31067015

This one is baffling. LDL "significantly increased" while triglycerides "significantly decreased"? Calories/day not stated; if, say, 3200 kcal, that means 40g of carbs.

n=17, so who knows.
