Egg testimonies brighten , but battle not over
By DIETER KRIEG
LANCASTER - Speaking
here briefly Tuesday
morning after having
received a $7385 check from
the Shell Egg Committee of
the Poultry and Egg In
stitute of America (PEIA),
Hendrik Wentink noted that
some light is being shed on
fair cholesterol research and
reporting. He made com
ments during the last annual
meeting of the Northeast
Poultry Producers Council,
which will merge with PEIA
on Jan.l. The meeting was
held at the Host Farm
Resort Inn
“Evidence is increasing,
and being published, which
is shedding an entire new
light on lipid hypotheses and
pointing towards the positive
side of egg nutrition,”
Wentink stated.
Wentink is employed in
Lancaster as assistant to the
president of Pennfield
Corporation, and also serves
as general chairman of the
National Commission on
Egg Nutrition (NCEN), an
organization which is
dedicated to defending the
nutritional and beneficial
qualities of eggs and egg
products.
Despite the new positive
exposures for eggs, Wentink
is qmck to point out that
“one rose doesn’t make

hunters, who have been
reporting harvests in excess
of 100,000 annual ly in Penn
sylvania for more than a
decade, can again expect to
have another good season in
1977, according to the
Pennsylvania State Game
Commission.
The regular two-week
antlered deer season will
open one-half hour before
sunrise on November 28 and
close at sunset on December
10. The regular statewide
antlerless deer season is
scheduled for Friday and
Saturday, December 16 and
17.
made on the medical and
media fronts, the current
administration in
Washington is allegedly
determined to come up with
a national diet plan for
Americans. According to
Wentink, who has for years
been in the forefront for fair
publicity on egg nutrition,
the Carter Administration is
very commited to the con
cept of dietary goals. “It’s
not just a McGovern idea,”
the Lancaster Countian
warned, adding that the
Administration is looking
seriously at the very
recommendations and
conclusions offered earlier
this year by the Senate
Select Committee on Human
Nutrition and Needs, which
Senator George McGovern
of South Dakota chaired.
In the opinion of Wentink
and many others, such a
dietary program would be a
big mistake.
“There is no justification
to go to a diet program which
is so damaging to
agriculture and even more
damaging to consumers,
especially since there’s no'
evidence on what the new
proposed diet will do to the
consumer,” the poultry
specialist explained. As
proposed by the McGovern
Committee, the name by
which the select senate
committee is popularly
known, the American people
Wildlife managers report
that the 1977 pre-hunting
season deer population in the
state is over 630,000, a figure
that is dangerously high in
light of available Over-
Wintering food supplies.
The Game Commission
hopes that hunters will
report harvesting at least
57.000 bucks and another
57.000 antlerless deer this
year. Should the harvest fall
considerably short of the
projected goals, whitetails
will be in serious trouble if
severe Winter weather
conditions prevail from
December through March.
Starvation and other Winter
losses could be excessive.
Hendrik Wentink
would be encouraged to eat
less red meats, dairy
products, and eggs. All three
of these agricultural
segments have protested
these recommendations and
evidence has since gone on
record that the McGovern
Committee’s findings are
unfounded. But up to now the
Committee, charges Wen
tuik, has paid no heed to this
new testimony. Therein lies
the poultry and livestock
industry’s continued
dilemma and challenge,
despite the gains being made
m medical research and
media coverage.
One study Wentmk cited as
new evidence bringing out
the positive side of egg
nutrition was conducted in
London, and will likely be
repeated in this country for
further documentation. In
that experiment, scientists
were encouraged that high
density lipid protein has a
protective factor built in
against cardiac problems.
“But much more needs to be
done on it. In time, it’s very
likely that the old theories
dealing with cholesterol
levels will be entirely ob
solete,” Wentink added.
One of Wentink’s chief
criticisms of the dietary
goals, other than that they
would be detrimental to both
agriculture and the con
suming public, is that the
government is attempting to
take an unproven dietary
plan and apply it to he entire
population. “The dietary
goals would interfere with
nutritional needs of the vast
majority while maybe of
fering health protection to a

plans, he claims, should be
approached on an individual
medical basis, rather than
across the board.
