b. "Replace a serving of red meat with a serving of fish."
c. "Use nondairy creamer in your decaffei-nated coffee."
d. "Drink a serving of grapefruit juice each day."
B
Fish have a high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which are helpful in reducing cholesterol. Not all frozen foods are unhealthy. Frozen vegetables with no sodium added are a good choice for a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet. Nondairy creamer is high in trans fat and saturated fat. Grapefruit juice often interferes with metabolism of a variety of medications.
