hat FDA now permits fat
and cholesterol labeling to
eople who are advised by

these substances.” But
ated explicitly that in per
such labeling, it was “not

are good reasons for this,
ply do not yet know what

Why do I feel so strongly in
favor of an adequate nutritionally
balanced diet chosen from all the
commonly-available foods? Be
cause we do have a good diet in
this country and years and years
of benefits in terms of generally
healthier people are the result.
When you tamper with a diet,
you have to know what you are
doing. For this reason, the Feder
al Trade Commission recently ob
tained a consent order against
one margarine manufacturer or
dering him to cease and desist
from advertising that said or im
plied that polysaturated fats in
the diet will prevent heart at
tacks.
No Evidence Of Lives Saved
Polyunsaturated fats will lower
the level of cholesterol in your
blood: we know that. But we have
no real evidence that this in turn
saves lives. In fact, at the VA Ad
ministration hospital in Los An
geles, where they put men on
diets high in polyunsaturated fats,
they found some decrease in heart
deaths. But the diets didn’t lessen
total deaths. And the dishearten
ing fact was that deaths from
cancer increased. Frankly, I’ll
take heart disease.
And just recently, in the New
England Journal of Medicine, the
Los Angeles VA doctors announc
ed that in re-examing their data
they found the patients on the
polyunsaturated fat diets were
twice as likely to get gall stones.
This illustrates the necessity for
medical advice before making
changes in your diet.

Expo
8-13
The Pennsylvania Livestock
and Allied Industries
Association, sponsors of the
exposition, along with the Pa.
Department of Agriculture and
the Pa. Farm Products Show
Commission, believe that the new
dates will be more favorable to
both the exhibitor and the general
public.
Exhibitors - in this instance,
livestock breeders and feeders -
will be able to move on to the
International Livestock Ex
position in Chicago with a more
realistic time span between the
two shows. This should en
courage the top breeders and
exhibitors in the.country to enter
the Keystone Expo.
Admission to all events is free
and a greater turnout of visitors
is anticipated as judging in all
species - including both market
ready animals and breeding
stock - will be conducted all day
Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
Opening day activity will be
limited to the start of the two-day
Pennsylvania State 4-H Horse
Show and the closing day,
Tuesday, will be restricted to the
Appaloosa division - halter and
performance classes.
Other weekend highlights in
'clude the selection of the grand
champion steer at 3 p.m.,
Saturday; the Intercollegiate and
4-H Horse Judging Contest
beginning at 8 a.m. Saturday
morning and the Live Hog
Evaluation Contest, Sunday
afternoon at 1 o’clock.
At least one national breed
association will use the Keystone
International Livestock Ex
position as the occasion for its
annual meeting. The American
Hampshire Sheep Association
will meet here for the election of
officers. Their breed show is set
for 1 p.m., Monday, to be followed
immediately by a bred ewe sale.
Last year’s swine shows were
curtailed when entries were
returned to Ohio and Indiana
exhibitors following hog cholera
outbreaks. Since that time
Pennsylvania has successfully
weathered positive hog cholera
diagnosis on four separate farms.
The Commonwealth is again
“hog cholera-free” and swine
may move freely through normal
interstate and intrastate chan
nels.
The directors of PLAIA have
voted to open the Keystone In
ternational on the second
Thursday in November in suc
ceeding yeasrs. The dates of the
1974 show will be Nov. 14-19.
