If you’re reading this, you probably care about your health and the role cholesterol can play. That’s an important first step.
Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in your blood. Your body needs cholesterol to build healthy cells, but high levels of cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease.

Sometimes, those deposits can break suddenly and form a clot that causes a heart attack or stroke. Link text
