crease in funds, that makes for
odds of 166 to 1.
AHA spent over $4 million
last year just for public health
education. It took only a small
fraction of that to produce a 13-
minute film, ‘‘Eat To Your
Heart’s Content.” The film,
which was released last winter,
included such advice as “eggs
aren’t what they’re cracked up
to be. Do not eat more than
three (whole) eggs a week.”
Two decades ago when AHA
was formed its primary purpose
was to do cardiovascular re
search There was little empha
sis on publicity. Today only
about one-third of each dollar
goes into research. An almost
equal amount goes into fund
raising and administration. In
the remaining third theie is
plenty of money available for
anti-animal fat publicity.
AHA’s growing budget for
publicity has been accompanied
by a change in policy Original
ly AHA was concerned only
with altering the diets of those
persons actually suffering fiom
coronary disease, those who had
suffered from it and those who
might be especially prone to it.
Now it is recommending a diet
low in animal fats for ALL citi
zens, healthy ones included.
This runs counter to the Ameri
can Medical Association’s cur
rent recommendation that well
balanced diets include dany
products and meats or other
high protein foods, such as eggs,
legularly.
If the egg industry and other
animal food industries (dairy,
meats, etc) ever are to effec
tively counter the infoimation
put out by the AHA, theie is
going to have to be a much
bigger budget for weapons, says
Dr. Wilhelm. A slingshot won’t
do!
