title: Is there a hypocholesterolemic factor in milk and milk products?
abstract: Cow's milk is considered to be related to atherosclerosis since more than 50% of its energy comes from fat in which saturated fatty acids are predominant. But many investigators have reported that milk or milk products have actually a hypocholesterolemic effect in man and animals and a number of milk constituents have been suggested as hypocholesterolemic factors.
