                    [Summary] => Roger S. is a 57-year-old writer. He’s generally conscious about his health; in fact, he’s a vegetarian. He does not drink alcohol. He exercises regularly. It came as a big surprise when he found out that he had alarming levels of total cholesterol and the bad type of cholesterol or LDL. Aside from possible genetic predisposition, the only risk factor that his doctor could think of was his heavy smoking. He used to smoke two packs daily.
