Milk, yogurt and cholesterol
Milk and yogurt are foods of animal origin that contain cholesterol and saturated fatty acids.
Milk and yogurt, unless otherwise specified on the food label, MUST be 100% of cow origin.
The amount of cholesterol and saturated fatty acids depends both on the animal of origin and on the integrity of the lipid fraction (skimming level); the vaccine product is less fat than sheep, buffalo, goat, etc .; moreover, the "whole" vaccine marketed is further subjected to the deprivation of a considerable lipid fraction useful for the production of "milk cream" (liquid cream).
Milk and yogurt are liquid or semi-liquid foods; the "whole" food, richer in lipids, provides 11mg of cholesterol per 100g of edible portion, therefore "relatively little". However, it is important to remember that the portions of milk and "natural" yogurt consumption range from 150 to 300ml, a value which contributes (albeit minimally) to increasing the daily amount of nutritional cholesterol (which should remain <300mg / day).
Yogurt is nothing but milk subjected to bacterial inoculation of selected strains; the typical stickiness is determined by the fermentation of lactobacilli (or similar microorganisms) which, starting from lactose, produce lactic acid and other molecules; contrary to what one might think, the amount of water present in yogurt is the same as milk, therefore the nutritional values (including cholesterol and saturated fats) are the same (except for flavored / sweetened yoghurts and for those " creamy ").
