In fact, we FREE SAMPLE COPIES Youi Naiu e f.O, BOX 266, LITITZ. PA. 17543 don’t know the effectiveness of reducing any of the so-called “risks” of heart disease. Fos this reason, I really feel people should stop worrying about cholesterol, unless their physician specifically advises them to adopt a special program. Meantime, of course, there are commercial interests hard at work selling certain products with the implied idea that their use may prevent heart disease. Some of this “pitch” includes talk about the cholesterol content of various foods To set the rec ord straight, it seems time to re peat some of what I said in a column last year. The mail I re ceived indicated a lot of people have been misled by other infor mation. What’s Low, What’s High? From what you have read, do you figure shrimp is low in cho lesterol 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 cho lesterol of one pat of butter. In other words, a small shrimp and a pat of butter are equal in cho lesterol. Or take a lobster. A 3%-ounce serving of lobster will give you 200 mg of cholesterol against a pat of butter’s 12 mg. So it’s im portant for you to compare foods for their cholesterol content, or anything else, for that matter, on a common serving basis. You should not fear cholester ol. It is, after all, a vital consti tuent in our bodies. We need cho lesterol. And until we know a great deal more about its place in our nutrition I think we simply should, as with everything else, avoid extremes.

Members are chosen for one year terms from employees nominated by their agencies because of their ac complishments and potential for further growth and development. Their committee activities are in addition to their normal duties. The Under Secretary said the committee’s report does not reflect official USDA policy, but represents the collective views of the committee members. 50-60 . 87 Some 60 million Americans are protected by some form of “short term” insurance protection against loss of mcome in case they are disabled 11-24 12 . 21 Buy now, pay later!
