Try cow milk product elimination due to cholesterol

This study, once again, lacks the exclusion of animal fluid products
in its design. Cholesterol and saturated fat are multiplied in animal
fluid processing, when compared to animal flesh. It is necessary to see
the entire dietary picture as relevant when looking for truthful and
sweeping disease reduction recommendations. Many people who eliminate
animal flesh actually increase their intake of animal fluid (i.e. cow
milk, goat milk, cheese, cottage cheese, etc.) True dietary
recommendations regarding animal products need to begin with the premise
that the harmful substances to humans are present in the flesh AND fluids
of animals.
