Heart disease is the leading killer of Americans and many believe high cholesterol levels are to blame.  Despite the fact that cholesterol lowering medications are the number 2 most commonly taken drugs for chronic health conditions (blood pressure lowering medications are number 1), Americans still suffer in record numbers with the life threatening disease.
