Wink Re: Low Fat Cheese

I thought of you and Hema today when I watched the Dr. Oz show Pibikay, because cheese was discussed.
According to Dr. William Li of the Angiogenesis Foundation hard cheeses like Edam, Swiss and Gouda help to stop cancer from spreading, because they contain fair amounts of vitamin K2.

You would still need to find out the fat content of these cheeses, because Dr.Li did not discuss that aspect.
I decided to find out what foods contain vitamin K2 and found these links.
1. http://www.livestrong.com/article/35...in-vitamin-k2/
2. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?t...rient&dbid=112
It seems fermented foods like hard cheese and natto have vitamin K2, but some people might not want to eat natto, because it is fermented whole soy beans. I however, enjoy a little natto with rice occassionally. I got used to it when I lived in Japan. I will try to stick to the hard cheeses suggested by Dr. Li for an occassional treat too.
Perhaps Tanya would like to share her opinion on this subject too.
