How's Your Cholesterol?

How's Your Cholesterol?
I received the following letter in my email a few days ago:
According to the American Heart Association, 140 million adults have borderline-high or high cholesterol. Even if you feel great and have an active lifestyle - you might have elevated levels of cholesterol. CardioChek® (www.cardiochek.com) is the first device that allows anyone to easily test their cholesterol and other cardiovascular health indicators at home.

CardioChek is the first handheld devicelinks cleared by the FDA for at-home testing of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose and ketone levels-which can indicate risk for coronary heart disease, heart attack, stroke, diabetes and chronic diseases. The monitor and test strips produce results in less than two minutes on a large digital screen from just a small drop of blood.

In the United States, one in three adults have borderline or high cholesterol.

Club Hooligan tells us more:
A 2005 study by South African researchers found that a similar CardioCheck kit for doctors was just as accurate as lab testing. Popular Science magazine chose the analyzer as one of the top 10 personal health product innovations of 2006. The analyzer stores up to 30 results per type of test for future comparison and tracking. In addition to bad cholesterol, this measures good cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose.

Expect a full review once I've tried the CardioChek.
