Newer research is showing that the ratio between the to are actually more inportant. I can't rmeember exactly, but as long as your HDL is higher than LDL, I would stress too much over it.
LDL:HDL ratio, optimally, is less than 3. This may be the critical measurement of cholesterol. Total cholesterol to HDL ratio (less than 5) may be second.
