cholesterol concentration and death from ischaemic heart disease
The lower blood
cholesterol concentrations observed in
adult life in exclusively breastfed infants in the present review raise the possibility that exposure to breast milk [which is associated with a short - term increase in total
cholesterol concentrations in infancy of ≈ 0.6 mmol / L (10)-RSB-, may have long - term effects on blood
cholesterol concentrations later in life (42).
