Abstract
Objective: It has been known by experience at the health checks that the total cholesterol levels are high especially for schoolteachers who have school lunches served with milk, and the levels decrease when they stop to drink milk and eat eggs. Methods: The investigation has been conducted on the levels of total cholesterol for persons with hypercholesterolemia when they stop to eat eggs and drink milk for more than a week. Results and Conclusions: The total cholesterol levels decreased of 97 subjects (male 37, female 60. age 59±9 years)from 266±15mg/dl to 231±25mg/dl. The higher the total cholesterol levels were, the more the levels decreased. Also the similar results were obtained for those who took cholesterol-lowering drugs, that the total cholesterol levels decreased from 265±39mg/dl to 220 ± 27mg/dl.
