Is High Blood Cholesterol A Common Condition?
Yes, the National Institutes of Health concluded in a recent report that the blood cholesterol level of most Americans is undesirably high and that about 50% of the adult population have high blood cholesterol level that put them at increased risk of developing coronary heart disease. The average American eats some 400 to 600 milligrams of cholesterol each day. This should be reduced to 250 to 300 milligrams per day.
