Yes, I know you should just eat less of it in the first place.


However if you love cheese (and why not?) :


"The largest independent dairy company in the UK, Fayrefield Foods, has launched a new brand of cheese in Asda stores, designed to help lower cholesterol levels.

Heartfelt+ cheese is a fully flavoured, 12 per cent fat cheese which contains Reducol, an ingredient known to lower cholesterol safely and naturally.

The Heartfelt+ range also includes a cholesterol-lowering milk drink which was launched in March in Tesco stores.

Chris Swire, commercial director at Fayrefield Foods, told just-food.com: "It is notoriously difficult to produce a cheese that has a good taste, while matching the requirements of a cholesterol lowering diet, so we are delighted with the development of heartfelt+."

As many as 50 per cent of Britons are thought to have high cholesterol. This can be a key factor in the onset of coronary heart disease, making cholesterol-lowering food products a key sector for food innovation.

Mr Swire added that the new product should help consumers to maintain the necessary dietary controls and still be able to enjoy cheese.

Heartfelt+ will be available in Asda stores from May 8th onward and will retail at £1.98 for a 200g pack."

If cholestrol reducing food is good enough for Lulu, it's good enough for me.
Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

I doubt many of the shoppers at my Asda would know what cholesterol is.
