Mr. Best: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps the Government are taking to reduce cholesterol levels in the adult
population. [195481]
Miss Melanie Johnson: High intakes of saturated fat can raise cholesterol levels. The Government provide practical guidance on how
consumers can reduce the saturated fat in their diets through healthy eating advice. As part of a balanced diet, foods rich in
saturated fat need to be replaced with unsaturated fats such as oil rich fish and foods containing oils such as sunflower, rapeseed
and olive oils.
The Government have also conducted a major consultation exercise on improving public health, covering a range of lifestyle issues,
including diet and physical activity. Responses to the consultation have informed the development of a White Paper on improving
health, due later this year. The Department of Health also funds a range of non-governmental organisations to increase awareness of
the benefits of eating a healthy diet and active lifestyles.
High cholesterol is a significant risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke and related diseases. The Department's
National Service Framework (NSF) for CHD sets out modern standards and service models for the NHS for the prevention and treatment
of CHD.

lifestyle to combat heart disease. [195499]
Miss Melanie Johnson: In March 2000, the Department published the national service framework (NSF) for coronary heart disease (CHD),
which set out modern standards and service models for the national health service for the prevention and treatment of CHD. The White
Paper on improving health, due for publication later this year, will also contribute to the prevention and treatment of CHD.
