Eating to Lower Your High Blood Cholesterol. This pamphlet gives details

cholesterol levels. The NCEP also has booklets for children with high
blood cholesterol levels and their parents. In addition, the NHLBI has a
booklet, Exercise and Your Heart, and a resource list of agencies and
organizations able to answer questions on cholesterol and the other risk
factor for hear disease. For these and other materials, write:
