HDL cholesterol: The good cholesterol. While doctors will tell you high cholesterol is bad, it is important to remember that one type of cholesterol is good. High-density lipoprotein, or HDL, is useful because it carries cholesterol away from the cells and back to the liver to be processed.
Cameroon (/ËkÃ¦mÉËruËn/; French: Cameroun), officially the Republic of Cameroon (French: RÃ©publique du Cameroun), is a country in Central Africa. It is bordered by Nigeria to the west; Chad to the northeast; the Central African Republic to the east; and Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Republic of the Congo to the south. Cameroon's coastline lies on the Bight of Biafra, part of the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic Ocean.
Cameroon, which is home to more than 200 different linguistic groups, is known as Africa in miniature due to its diversity. The Central African country has one of the highest literacy rates on the continent. Its progress, however, is hampered by persistent problems with corruption. Created in 1961 by the unification of two former colonies, one British and one French, the modern state of Cameroon has also struggled to find peace and unity.
