Cholesterol & Strokes

NPR's Wendy Schmelzer reports that even young men need to worry about their cholesterol levels. A study in this week's Journal of The American Medical Association finds that men who had high cholesterol in their 20s and 30s were more than twice as likely to die from heart disease later in life.
