Which of the following is considered a "good" cholesterol? LDL HDL triglycerides?

HDL (or high density lipoproteins) is considered "good cholesterol" because it transports cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver.
LDL (or low density lipoproteins) is considered "bad cholesterol" because it takes cholesterol from the liver to peripheral tissues.
Triglycerides are the main component of fat cells. They are the most common fat found in the human body.

EDIT: Mazher: I cannot believe that you copied and pasted practially my whole answer. Did you think I wouldn't notice or something?? I'm really shocked at this. It would be one thing if you copied my answer and pasted it into another question, but you did it right here under my answer. Wow...

HDL - the good chol. helps prevent your blood vessels from getting blocked. For men it should be more than 40 mg/dl and women more than 50 mg/dl. (ADA guidelines) more than 45 mg/dl (ACE guidelines)
Bad chol. should be less than 100 mg/dl. Total chol. less than 200 mg/dl
Triglycerides is not chol. but another lipid (fat) and should be less than 150 mg/dl
