Hursh, M.D. Consultant, National Dairy Council AND LOAN ASSOCIATION As a withe* back ground in nutrition research, it upsets me mightily when I see some of the confusion, and fear, that is generated by some of the talk about heart disease. It certainly is a private matter between the doctor and his pa tient if the doctor believes experi menting with the patient’s diet is worth a try The reasons could in clude there being a history of heart disease in the patient’s fam ily. Or that he has high blood pressure. Or a really high blood fat level. Or that he smokes a great deal and reacts with great emotion to job pressures Cholesterol Varies In Food But from what you have read, do you figure shrimp is low in cholesterol while butter is high’ Most people do. They’ll stuff themselves with ten to a dozen small shrimp, dipped in sauce, at a cocktail party but shy away perhaps from butter for fear of cholesterol Yet these ten small shrimp contain ten times the cholesterol of one pat of butter In other words, a small shrimp and a pat of butter are equal in cholesterol. Or take a lobster. A 3 and V 2 ounce serving of lobster will give you 200 mg. of cholesterol against a pat of butter’s 12 mg So it’s important for you to compare foods for their cholesterol content, or anything else, for that matter, on a common serving basis. Not that I think you should fear cholesterol It is, after all, a vital constituent in our bodies. We need cholesterol And until we know a great deal more about its place m our nutrition I think we simply should, as with everything else, avoid extremes.
