MILK

| Whole
milk dairy products are high in fat and cholesterol. We encourage the
use
of low fat dairy products which are low in fat and cholesterol but
provide
a good source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D.

| Changing
what you eat and method of food preparation can reduce significantly
your
blood cholesterol level. If the cholesterol level does not come down
after
a few months, your physician may recommend a much stricter diet. If,
despite
your honest efforts, you must take medication, your good eating habits
may let you reduce the quantity. |
