Blood cholesterol level is a risk factor for heart and other blood vessel diseases — but not much of a risk factor. High cholesterol is dangerous. But the treatment i believe does not reduce the risk of dying from heart disease And to avoid it you need to take 5 -6 pills all our lives.Is it worth your while to take these pills for years? Would it be worth it if you had to pay out-of-pocket?

PSA stands for Prostate Specific Antigen.Prostate cancer is a normal part of aging; by age 70, essentially
all men have prostate cancer.The challenge for screening is not to find prostate cancer, but to
find the prostate cancer that will kill a man before his time. That’s a big challenge.
After all, if you want to be sure you will not die from prostate cancer
before your time, you will have to submit to a procedure, usually a
major surgical procedure that offers a 15 percent likelihood of
incontinence and more of impotence.
