Facts Don't Bath Attacks
On Milk, McHale Declares
Available facts on the incidence
of heart disease refute claims
by dairy industry competitors
that milk fats are a major con
tributor to America’s number
one killer, says Pennsylvania
Secretary of Agriculture, Jim
McHale
“Contrary to claims by milk’s
competitors, principally the oleo
margarine industry, facts show
that while the per captia con
sumption of dairy products de
clines annually, the incidence of
heart disease is constantly on
the rise,” McHale declared.
Speaking at a meeting of De
partment employees from Re
gion I at Meadville recently he
continued, “It is also interesting
to note that as the number of
heart attacks increase the per
capita consumption of vegetable
oil substitutes for dairy products
has been on the rise.”
In challenging the American
Heart Association’s attack on the
dairy-industry, through its pub
lic campaign to reduce the in
take of animal fats and to pro
mote the intake of vegetable
fats, the Secretary noted, “With
AHA’s apparent blessing, the
vegetable oil industry now liter
ally promises to clean out arter
ies clogged by milk fats in much
the same way a drain cleaner
works.
“What these critics of dairy
products leave unsaid is that
milk, which is an almost perfect

food, offers more body and cell
building elements than any other
food—and 'because the human
body renews itself at such an
incredible rate, everyone, re
gardless of age. needs to drinV
plenty of milk daily.”
One of the reasons for Amer
ica’s noor eating habits and lack
of nutritional knowledge, is that
consumers rely too much on the
■integrity of food manufacturers
and food retailers to insure them
of nutritional value and truth in
merchandising, McHale main
tained.
McHale noted that the Amer
ican Heart Association attacks
such a nerfect food as milk,
while ignoring jthe additiv* con
tent of a oroduct such as Coke.
The caffeine added, as well as
the increased sugar consumption
by consumers of this tyne of
beverage, are notentiel health
hazards McHale said.
“I suggest that everyone in
terested in promoting nature’s
most nearly perfect food get
out and tell the people that
the bad name given milk bv
medical experts over the chole
sterol nroblem. was not warran
ted. At the same time dairy
farmers must he made to realize
the imnortance of advertising
their nroduct,” McHale added.
Pointing out that "advertising
expenditures for soft drinks ac
counted for more than 10 per
cent of all food advertising in
1969, more than any single food
item. McHale concluded, “It
would seem that dairymen would
he well advised to take a paee
from their competitor’s hand
book by giving more attention,
to advertising. ,
“Maybe the fact that fluid milk
is the third least advertised food
has a lot to do with its gradual
loss to other beverages in the
market place. The decrease in
the droportion of the food dollar
that went for milk and milk pro
ducts is similar to the increase in
the proportion of the food dollar
spent for beverages, such as soft
drinks, during the past decade.”
