Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if hydrolyzed whey protein can help serum cholesterol stay in normal range in adults. As a side inquiry, a few blood measures will be taken that are relevant to low level inflammation. The main questions the study aims to answer are:

* Will hydrolyzed whey lower serum cholesterol readings in adults with starting values in the upper end of normal to the lower end of elevated?
* Will the hydrolyzed whey affect a general measure of inflammation and two measures of indirect relevance to inflammation?

Researchers will compare hydrolyzed whey to a conventional whey (a control protein not expected to affect serum cholesterol readings) to see if the hydrolyzed whey lowers serum cholesterol.

Participants will:

* Drink one protein beverage every day for 6 weeks;
* Go to a LabCorp facility for a blood draw before and after the 6 weeks.

Standard whey

A typical whey protein is given that differs in chemical structure from the atypical whey protein used in the experimental group

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Hydrolyzed whey

This type of whey has different chemical structure from typical wheys such as that used in this nstudy's control group
