Cholesterol and Dairy Products

Joye: Hi! I am Joye, and this is Allie, and my cholesterol always tends to run a little high and my friends and family tell me it's my love of dairy that keeps it up there. But if that's the case what kind of dairy can I eat?

Mimi Ghosh: Thank you for your question, Joye. Dairy products are very important for people, especially women down the road to avoid osteoporosis. So we certainly wouldn't say to avoid completely taking in dairy products.

So when you are making your choice, try and find dairy products that are either skim or 1%. Avoid dairy products that are high in saturated fat. Fat would include whole milk, cream, ice-cream, butter, and cheese.
