A member asked:

Is cheese bad for people with high cholesterol and high triglycerides?

Specializes in Family Medicine

Moderation...: Many cheeses are high in saturated fats and cholesterol and should be kept to a minimum in somebody that already has high cholesterol. They now have low fat and fat free cheeses that you may want to try. Like everything in life, moderation is the key.
