Dear Reader:

The latest statistics on cholesterol and heart disease in Americans have come out.

And they are frightening — to say the least:

• More than 98 million Americans have high cholesterol.

• About a third of these men and women — 35 million — have cholesterol levels so high that they are clearly at risk for a heart attack.

• Nearly 17 million Americans suffer from coronary artery disease (CAD) — the number one killer of both men and women in the U.S.

• Some 935,000 Americans suffer a heart attack each year — and about one fifth of them die because of it.

• It’s true that more men than women have heart attacks, and they have them at a younger age. But after menopause, rates of heart disease in women increase two to three times — and their risk of a heart attack rises dramatically.

That’s the bad news.

But there’s also good news….

More progress is being made in controlling cholesterol — and reducing the incidence of coronary artery disease — than at any time in U.S. history!

Even better, all the important advances in cholesterol research that you need to know about are collected — and condensed — in a just-published 64-page Special Report from the University of California, Berkeley Wellness Letter …

Available now: The 2009 Wellness Report Controlling Your Cholesterol

With more than $2 billion a year spent in the U.S. on heart disease research, information on preventing and treating high blood pressure, high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, and related conditions is accumulating at a breakneck pace. And this creates a problem.

A health-minded individual looking for cholesterol advice online will rapidly suffer from "information overload" — a recent search on Google found 29 million Web pages referencing cholesterol.

Obviously, no one person can keep up with all the new developments in cholesterol research.

And unless you’re an M.D. yourself, do you really have the background to separate the good science from the hype?

That’s where the University of California, Berkeley Wellness Reports can help save you time and money while improving your health.

Our editorial advisors, all M.D.s or Ph.D.s with impressive credentials in their specialties, conduct an exhaustive search of the medical literature on a particular topic – in this case, cholesterol.

They then carefully review the research to ensure that it’s based on scientifically sound methods . . . and to confirm the accuracy — and reliability — of the findings.

Next, our editors painstakingly convert medical jargon, formulas, and statistics into clear, plain English.

You’ll find it fascinating reading — and useful. Our experts tell you exactly what you need to know about your cholesterol … plus, how to apply key research findings to improving and maintaining your own health.

Here’s just a sampling of what you’ll discover in our completely up to date UC Berkeley Wellness Report: Controlling Your Cholesterol 2009 —

Lower your cholesterol, save your life

How important is it to get your cholesterol under control with the facts – and recommendations – in our UC Berkeley Wellness Report: Controlling Your Cholesterol 2009?

In a landmark Heart Protection Study in 2002, men and women who reduced their LDL "bad" cholesterol by about 40 mg/dl slashed their risk of heart attacks by 38%.

More recently, a review of 14 major clinical trials involving 90,000 patients confirmed that lowering LDL cholesterol levels – through medications and diet – also lowers risk of heart attack.

Every 40-point decline in LDL cholesterol levels sustained over a 5-year period lowered the relative risk of heart attack by 23% … and the risk of death from any cause related to coronary artery disease by 19%.
