>increase LDL, which is bad for heart health
This is a gross over simplification
Many people have high Ldl and no cardiovascular disease.
Some have low ldl and have cardiovascular disease.
The reality is there's multiple forms of Ldl.
If you eat a diet high in sugar and fats, your triglycerides will be high and your Ldl will be high. But it'll be a form of Ldl where the particle size is small and much more likely to clog your arteries.
If you eat low to moderate carbs (20-150 net carbs a day) your triglycerides will be low, HDL will be higher and IF your Ldl is high it's likely the ldld particle size is much larger and poses far less of a danger.
