Determining which cheeses are high or low in saturated fat and cholesterol
can be confusing, because there are so many different kinds on the
market: part-skim, low-fat, processed, and so on. Not all reduced-fat or part-
skim cheeses are always low in fat; they are only lower in fat that similar
natural cheeses. For instance, one reduced-fat cheddar gets 56 percent of
its calories from fat- considerably less that the 71 percent of regular Ched-dar,
but not super lean either. The trick is to read the label. Table 5-5 is a
guide to fat in cheeses.
