Doctors and nutritionists have long recommended avoiding all animal fats to trim cholesterol, but Danish researchers say cheese may not be so bad, and probably shouldn't be placed in the same category as butter.
According to their study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, people who ate daily servings of cheese for sixweek intervals had lower LDL cholesterol, the so-called "bad" cholesterol, than when they ate a comparable amount of butter.
The cheese eaters also did not have higher LDL during the experiment than when they ate a normal diet.
The group surveyed about 50 people. Each person was put on a controlled diet and added a measured
amount of cheese or butter daily.
Despite eating more fat than had been in their normal diet, the cheese eaters showed no increase in LDL.
While eating butter, however, the same subjects had LDL levels about 7% higher than average.
