Most cheese is exceedingly high in fat. Worse it is one of the main sources of health threatening saturated fat which raises bad cholesterol. Few fully realize just how major a role it can play in weight and heart problems. Choose only the low fat cheeses.
Eat other cheeses only in small quantities, or as an occasional treat. If they are on your hard-to-resist list buy them only in those tiny 10z packs now conveniently on sale. Go for the stronger flavors to get more eating satisfaction from less.
