—Lancaster Farming. Saturday, August 26,1967 4 From Where We Stand... That Old Cholesterol Devil Can diet manipulation alone con trol the incidence of heart disease? Sev eral years ago, it was quite fashionable for the medics to advise their patients to lay off the food containing saturated fats. Many producers of egg and meat pro ducts were consequently hurt as con sumption of the suspect foods fell. Now. the “experts” question that cholesterol in the blood is the leading cause of heart attacks it was once believ ed to be. It was reported at a press conference earlv this summer, held in conjunction with tlie American Medical Association convention, that: "The public will be ijreatlv misled if the press even hints that dietary manipulation will help prevent heart disease " Tins statement was attributed to tlie report of AMA’s executive committee <?n diet and heart disease. The press con ference was held to inform the public of the recommendations of the committee based on feasibility studies conducted by the group. The early studies were riot designed to determine whether diet and heart disease were unquestionably link ed, but rather to determine whether a long-range, large-scale study would be feasible. At this point, the National Diet- Heart Study report does not interpret in any way the effects of experimental diets on the incidence of heart disease, accord ing to conference moderator Dr. E.

He goes on to say that it will be at least seven years before a large-scale study on the possible effects of diet on heart disease can be completed. The study itself would take five years, in volve up to 100,000 male subjects, and cost up to $5O million, Andrus stated. According to the National Meat Board, many observers feel that even af ter five years the study itself may very well not prove one way or another that diet alone can prevent heart disease. It could merely substantiate what many al ready contend: that reducing the inci dence of heart disease can best be accom plished by a combination of factors such as weight reducing, proper exercise, de creased cigarette smoking, better control of blood pressure, and drug therapy in addition to some possible dietary changes. So, we still don’t have THE answer. We hope the AMA will caution and so advise its doctor members, pending com pletion of the proposed large-scale study. We still find it difficult to understand or believe that any wholesome, nutritious food consumed in moderation can be detrimental to health. Five years is a long time to wait for further word, but perhaps if it shows that diet is not the single most important factor in heart disease its benefits to farmers may be worth the wait.

The growth is rank this year and full of moisture; with cool and wet weather conditions the crop may mature rather slowly; the feed value per acre is increased nearly four times by waiting un til the dent stage as compared to the silk stage. To Prepare For Winter Oats With wheat prices at low fi gures, other winter grains might be considered that may be used locally for livestock and poultry feeds. Winter oats is more adapted to southeastern Pennsylvania than any other part of the state; the danger of winter-killing is the doubtful Lancaster Farming Ads Pay!

Other details may be found in the Extension Agronomy Guide. To Manage Silage Crops Due to the rank growth of many fields of corn and to fields of sudan or surghum hybrids, the need for temporary stor age of silage may appear on many farms. Two of the most important factors in using any type of horizontal, or stack sil age, is to have drainage away from the silage and make special effort to seal out the air; chopping the silage fine, packing it solid, and covering with air-tight materials will help in obtaining a good, tem porary storage system. lieved that God did not intend for him to risk his life and mission at that time.
