" The fats of plant origin in the cow's diet contain large amounts of

polyunsaturated fatty acids. These fats are hydrolyzed in the cow's rumen. The

liberated fatty acids are then converted into saturated fatty acids. "

of cholesterol cannot be achieved if a child drinks whole milk or eats cheese. "
