The time for talking about diet and cholesterol has passed;
urgent action to improve the national diet is now required to
lower New Zealand’s high burden of heart disease. This is the
challenge that healthcare professionals faced at a health
symposium in November featuring keynote speakers Professor
Rod Jackson from the University of Auckland and Professor
Murray Skeaff from the University of Otago as well as leading
international cholesterol expert, Professor Peter Jones from the
University of Manitoba in Canada.
