Quitting alcohol increases bad cholesterol level, finds new study
A 10-year study published in JAMA Network Open reveals that individuals in Japan who quit alcohol experienced higher levels of LDL or 'bad' cholesterol and lower levels of HDL or 'good' cholesterol, compared to those who continued drinking. Researchers suggest monitoring lipid profile changes for effective cardiovascular disease risk management, while experts caution about the study's methodology.
