(4) Issues such as healthcare and the NHS, food banks, energy and the general cost of living were conspicuous by their absence.
(5) In the clinical trials in which there was complete substitution of fat-modified ruminant foods for conventional ruminant products the fall in serum cholesterol was approximately 10%.
