C Skim the text ‘Healthier Milk’ and say what problem is dealt
with in it.
Healthier milk
Various studies have shown that there seems to be a link between high-saturated fat diets and heart disease. Saturated fat is usually of animal origin. Doctors think that eating a lot of animal products, like milk, butter and cheese, increases the level of cholesterol in the blood. Cholesterol is a fat-like substance which circulates in the blood and, over a long time, can become deposited on the inside of the blood vessels, causing heart disease.
Researchers in Scotland have found a way to help people who like dairy products but need to keep their blood cholesterol level down. They have shown that if a cow is given oats instead of barley to supplement her standard diet, she produces milk which is lower in saturated fat. The amount of saturated fat in the milk drops by as much as 20 per cent when cows are fed on oats. Of course dairy farmers are not likely to change their methods overnight although oats are not expensive. There is no incentive for farmers to change their cattle feeding programmes — and at the moment there wouldn’t be enough oats to feed all the existing dairy herds.
