This scientific fact was again empha sized last summer when the Na tional Heart & Lung Institute (NHLI) released to the U.S. Con gress a special report on heart disease. The report, in response to Pub lic Law 92-423, was put together by the National Heart & Lung Ad visory Council, a special group formed specifically to survey all we know about heart disease and make recommendations for a “na tional plan” to approach the prob lem. The Council, in turn, set up panel groups of specialists on the various phases of heart disease. And when their reports were in, 392=7227 DON'T PANIC OVER HEART DISEASE WANTED Small farms up to 15 acres in southern Lancaster County Call Now For Quick Action JOE L. CREWS, INC. New London, Pa. Ph.

Hurth, M.D. Consultant, National Dairy Council the Council added its overall re commendations and submitted the total report to NHLI. As a physi cian, I regard this as a thorough and objective assessment of the heart disease situation one which we have very much needed. Change Not Recommended The report does not recommend that the general public change its diet for fear of heart disease. It merely, and properly, in my opin ion, recommended that individu als who are “high risks” with re spect to heart disease be identi fied and treated by “multifactor intervention.” The latter is a fancy phrase for utilizing medical means to reduce as many of a patient’s risks as possible. This could mean control of hyperten- Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 27,1973 sion, reduction or elimination of smoking, getting m6re exercise, taking it easier, and perhaps mod ifying diet or using a drug to lower blood cholesterol. Finding The Real Answers But to find the real answer to heart disease, the report spells it out we won’t know until ex tensive clinical trials are per formed whether we know how to help anyone or not. For example, the report says, in part: “Conduct controlled clinical trials to deter mine the effectiveness (emphasis added) of specific risk factor re duction and environmental modi fication in retarding the progres sion of atherosclerosis and pre venting clinical atherosclerotic disease. These specific trials should include the following: • Diet modification in closed and free-living populations. • Serum lipid reduction by whatever methods are available —diet, drugs, surgery, or other methods that may be devised to test the ‘lipid hypothesis’. • Other specific risk factor mod ification, particularly hyperten sion.” To do all that is recommended of which the dietary aspect is a small part the Council sug gested a budget of $2.6 billion for the next five years. In transmitt ing the proposal to Congress, NHLI attached a modified plan which would cost an estimated $1.9 billion over the next five years WE NEED FATS Will the so-called fatty foods make you fat? Certainly they will if you overindulge. Just as any food will make you fat if you eat too much. But it is true that fats contain about twice as many cal ories per ounce than carbohy drates or protein. So knowledge and judgment are in order. In the first place, we must estab lish what we are talking about. If you are discussing fats such as butter, margarine, lard, oils they offer 9 calories' This is why they are a good source of energy. But if we gre talking about the fat portion of other foods, then it is only the fatty portion that contains the high ra tio of calories, not the entire food. ‘Tatty Food” The term “fatty food” probably was first used to describe a food that contains a greater propor tion of fat than many other focds. Examples would include steak heavily marbleized and bordered with fat, creamed soups and gra vies, bacon, fatty pork, and so forth. Lean meats, clear bouillon, a salad with vinegar and lemon juice such foods would not be called fatty foods. But, aside from fats giving you more energy and thus more calories per ounce than carbohy drates or protein you must re member that fats are a basic nu tritional component of our food supply. And they are very im portant to good health. They sim ply should not be overused. An ideal diet, in my opinion, is the one that so many of us con sume. It is composed of 15 per cent of calories from protein, 40 percent from fat, and 45 percent from carbohydrates. Fats provide energy and there by allow the protein in your food to do its job of body building and repair. Fats give you fat-soluble vita mins A, D, E, and K in your diet. Fats make up part of the struc ture of body cells. Fats form protective cushions around vital organs. Fats increase flavor and enjoy ment of food. Fats, especially of plant origin, supply an essential fatty acid linoleic acid essential in the diet because your body does not make linoleic acid so your food must provide it You Figure It - A woman had a secondhand car for sale out m front of her home. A large sign on the car read; “387.31.” A prospective buyer asked. “Why do you have such an odd figure’” The lady nicely ex plained, “I eat between meals.” 33
