NLA releases: Clinical Perspective on Nutrition Interventions for Youth with Dyslipidemia

Dyslipidemia, or high cholesterol, means you have too many lipids (fat) in your blood. Nutrition interventions in youth with dyslipidemia provide short- and long-term benefits without adverse effects on growth or maturation.
