7 Myths About Cholesterol, Debunked
You may not recall every lab value from your last physical, but you probably remember one: Your cholesterol level. If it’s higher than ideal, you’re not alone.

Light-to-moderate drinking has long been linked to better heart health, but scientists have never been sure why.
