David H. Stroud. “The Meat
Board shares this respon
sibility to help the industry
and to protect the public."
Stroud noted that some
nutritionists and researchers
point at America's high per
capita meat consumption
and attempt to establish a
cause and effect relationship
between this and heart
disease. However, recent
reports indicate a decline in
the coronoary death rate
despite continued increases
in meat consumption.
It is appropriate that heart

disease be the subject of the
inaugural publication in the
Meat and Health aeries. The
American Heart Association
and a handful of nutritionists
have been widely quoted
cautioning the general public
to reduce intake of foods -
primarily those of animal
origin - which contain
saturated fata asa means of
controlling heart disease.
The Meat Board has said this
isn’t true.
“This advice has been
generously and vigorously
offered by many
manufacturers of polyun
saturated margarines and
cooking oils and merchants
of other low-cholesterol or
low saturated fat food
products, including dairy,
egg and meat substitutes,"
said Stroud. “We are con
cerned that a decade of
advertising messages
prepared by such ad
venturous food marketers
may have had such a strong
influence on the public’s
beliefs about heart health
that sound medical advice to
the contrary will be either
lost or ignored."
It is the intent of “Meat
and Your Heart” to
stimulate interested parties -
including consumers,
scientists, physicians,
educators, writers - to look
deeper, to gain mote in
sights, to get a broader view
of the problem in order to
solve it
Your Heart”
looks at'various population
and clinical studies of diet,
lifestyle and other factors in
relation to heart disease.
Based on a continuing
review of the scientific
literature by William C.
Sherman, Ph.D., Nutrition
Research Director of the
Meat Board, the publication
discusses cholesterol,
saturated an polyun
saturated fats, dietary fiber,
sugar and other dietary
components. Findings
resulting from research
conducted with MSat Board
grants as well as many other
studies are included in the
12-page leaflet’s resume of
heart disease research.
The brochure notes that
much of the evidence in
support of less-meat-in-the
diet suggestions is purely
statistical.
It concludes' "Meat baa
been part of man’s diet for
all of recorded history. But
even the meat people don’t
believe that is a divine
mandate to them to produce
and sell it But it is a proven
healthful food. Any evidence
to the contrary must be far
more convincing than that
thus far related to the
‘dietary hypothesis’ before
folks are advised across the
board to cut meat eating.”
