A preliminary observation is reported concerning total and high‐density lipoprotein blood cholesterol levels in 36 infants at 3 months of age fed with a hypoantigenic milk formula. The values are compared with those of 66 breastfed and 76 conventional formula‐fed infants. Total and high‐density lipoprotein‐cholesterol levels in hypoantigenic formula‐fed infants (152 and 65. 7 mg dl ‐1 , respectively) were comparable to those of breastfed infants (148 and 61. 8 mg dl ‐1 ) and significantly ( p <0. 05) higher than those of conventional formula‐fed infants (130 and 42. 5 mg dl ‐1 ).
