“ I urge all Americans to become familiar with the dangers of high blood cholesterol and to take steps to determine their cholesterol levels and discuss the implications of their cholesterol measurement at their next visit to their doctor. ”

“ Scientific research has clearly established elevated blood cholesterol as one of the three major modifiable risk factors for coronary heart disease. Research has also demonstrated the encouraging news that people can reduce their risk of heart disease by lowering high blood cholesterol.
Having blood cholesterol checked is the only way to know whether we are at high risk or not. The testing of cholesterol level is the first step toward identifying and controlling a serious condition that is a major contributor to America's number one killer. ”
