“Legendary Major League Baseball Hall of Famer, Tony Pérez, has teamed up with Men’s Health Network and Merck/Schering-Plough Pharmaceuticals to participate in Strike Out High Cholesterol: A Program to Help Lower LDL Levels, a national cholesterol education program. Pérez and the Strike Out High Cholesterol program will tour Minor League Baseball parks during this summer’s baseball season to raise awareness about high cholesterol and its two sources, food and family, among Latinos.

Approximately half of all Hispanic adult men have high cholesterol and Pérez is no exception. While most people know that cholesterol comes from the food we eat, many are still unaware that the majority of cholesterol is produced naturally in the body, which is largely influenced by your family medical history. “
