Milky way to health
05 March 2009As part of the EU Lipgene Project, University of Reading researchers in the Nutritional Sciences Research Unit have demonstrated that changing the feeding regimes of dairy cows can reduce the saturated fat content of milk by 22%. This would lead to a reduction in the amount of saturated fat in normal diets, and in turn lower the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
