Summary

This study looks at whether a daily dose of milk polar lipids (a type of fat found in milk) can improve cholesterol levels, reduce inflammation, and support gut health in adults with high cholesterol and abdominal obesity. Researchers will measure changes in blood fats and other heart risk markers over 8 weeks. The goal is to find a simple dietary approach to manage heart disease risk.
