Eating grated cheese rather than sliced can reduce the risk of heart disease, says a new report.

According to to the Food Standards Agency [FSA], people should grate or use a stronger flavoured cheese to reduce their intake of saturated fat.

"It's important to find ways to cut down, not give up," said FSA chief executive Tim Smith. "I learned to cut down cheese by grating it or using stronger flavour and I have cut down to 1% milk rather than semi-skimmed."

Smith also suggested that the public use low fat milk and leaner cuts of meat. British people eat 20% more than the recommended levels of saturated fat, claims the FSA.
