History of Changes
  Purpose

The aim of this study is to examine if a diet rich in cheese will have a beneficial effect on risk markers of cardiovascular disease compared to a diet rich in butter.

The primary parameters are total cholesterol as well as LDL-, HDL cholesterol and triacylglycerol (TAG). The secondary parameters are hsCRP, markers of insulin resistance, fasting insulin and glucose (HOMA). Furthermore bloodpressure is measured.
