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. Meanwhile,
here’s a chart for you to refer to
next time someone, or some popu
lar article, raises the cholesterol
