If you’re like me and have really high cholesterol, you’ve probably asked yourself a number of questions such as; “How do I lower it? What are the risks of high cholesterol? And what is cholesterol anyway??” Most people focus their attention on ways of lowering cholesterol without ever really knowing what cholesterol is. While you certainly don’t need to know, being able to answer the question ‘what is cholesterol?’ may at least give you some better insights on why its important to keep it low, and how. If not, it may at least help prepare you for a spot on Jeopardy.

Eaten in limited portions, they will provide your body with the energy it needs and still accommodate your weight loss plan.

Is animal use necessary?
Yes, if we are to continue seeking to understand and cure disease in both people and other animals. Certainly, animal use would not be necessary if we were content to allow our medical knowledge and skill to stay where it is today. But for many reasons we can’t afford that: Many devastating diseases — such as rheumatoid arthritis, AIzheimer’s, diabetes, muscular dystrophy, schizophrenia, and many forms of cancer–still lack cures or effective treatments. New diseases keep appearing.
