FROM WHERE WE STAND -
Mrs America believes that a good
breakfast should include at least one
egg, preferably two.
In an independent survey of Ameri
can housewives, researchers found that
most home makers believe that eggs
should go into the making of every
'■good” breakfast Mothers said they
liked for their children to start the day
with at least one egg for breakfast
The belief, in words at least, seems
fo be general that eggs are a healthful,
nutritious food-
Cooks will maintain that eggs are
one of the most versatile ingredients of s
their stock in trade.
Eggs are one of the easiest foods to
prepare in many ways. Almost anyone,
even Dad, can cook eggs which will
taste good and make an attractive dish.
Why then, with all this in their fav
or, have eggs been given less knd less
space on the tables of America?
We believe one of the reasons for
the decline in the per capita consump
tion of this wholesome food is the
member of conflicting articles which
have appeared in medical journals
from time to time.
Cholesterol was and in some
quarters still is accused of being an
important factor in -causing heart dis
ease.

Where, in that arrangement, is
the Circle of Religion? It is not
the same thing as the Circle of the
/,church, for there can be religion
outside of church; otherwise we
would be irreligious people every
tune we walked out of the
building. The fact is, religion—the
Christian religion in particular—
is concerned with all those circles
and all the people inside them, and
all that makes their lives good or
. bad, joyous or sorrowful. Any re
ligion that can be fenced in is a
mighty poor sort. Christianity is
concerned with everything human.
Therefore Christianity cannot,
without shame, turn its face away
and mutter "None of my business"
when anything is going on that
affects human lives.

thought to be "out of bounds” for

Because some patients seriously ill
with heart disease have been put on a
diet excluding eggs, some people have
come up with the idea that “eggs are
bad for you".
Many doctors have stated that the
concept of any disease arising frohn a
single cause is obsolete and mislead
ing. Heart disease, as well as most
other diseases, is probably caused by
many factors. No conclusive evidence
has ever been produced to show that
eggs are even one of the causes of
heart disease.
It is true that eggs do contain an
appreciable amount of cholesterol, but
most evidence indicates that the am
ount of cholesterol in the food is not

related to the amount of cholesterol
circulating in the blood stream.
Though the problem of what really
causes heart disease may not be set
tled for years, the fact that egg yolk
contains cholesterol has influenced
many doctors not only to stop eating
eggs themselves but also advise their
patients to eat less of them.
On the other side of the ledger a
report from the New York Medical
College shows that egg yolk has “been
found to have a remarkably strong ac
■ tion against rheumatic - fever In child
ren.
Dr. Alvin F. Coburn, Associate Pro
fessor of Pediatrics at the college
found that supplementation of rehuma
tic'children’s diets with egg yolk or
certain fractions thereof is followed by
a decreased ‘'rheumatic susceptability,
and a fraction of the egg yolk in ex
tremely small amounts has high anti
allergic activiy in laboratory animals.
Dr- Coburn makes no claims for the
curative power of egg yolks in rheu
matic fever cases, but does maintain
that his experiments show fewer cases
of recurring reumatic symtoms when
victims are put on a diet containing a
substantial amount of eggs or egg' yolk.
Recently the Poultry and Egg Na
tional Board has instituted a campaign
to help inform men in the medical pro
fession of the true nature of eggs in
thb diet.
: We believe this is a worthy project
anid hope it will have the backing and
cooperation of farmers in all phases of
agriculture. We believe it is the duty
of the farmer to help dispell false ru
mors about the harmful effects of the
wholesome products of American Ag
riculture.
One way farmers can cast their
vote of confidence in the value of eggs
is to start every day with a breakfast
of two. Boiled, fried, poached, scramb
led or in French Toast, eggs are good
and good for you
At least that’s how
