However, it is a substance naturally required by the body, according to Vicky Wass, Egg Promotion Specialist with the Penn sylvania Department of Agriculture. “Cholesterol plays a role in the formation of all body tissues,” says Wass. “Much of the cholesterol found in the body is formed by the body itself and not taken in through foods; if none is eaten, the body will produce its own.” The relationship between cholesterol intake and heart disease is still unknown.

According to Wass, much research is currently being done to learn the truth about cholesterol intake. “The egg industry, through the American Egg Board, is sponsoring several studies at leading universities throughout the country to learn if a relationship exists between the cholesterol content in an egg and ar teriosclerosis. Coronary arteriosclerosis is one cause of heart disease. It is a thickening of the walls of the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscles.

The Lebanon 4-H program can be part of the answer. According to Linda Rohrbach, Extension 4-H agent, the 4-H program is “diverse enough to offer kids a chance to learn what they want and need to learn. We offer the skills kids need for life.” In 4-H, kids learn in a variety of ways but always, says Rohrbach, the password is, “Learn By Doing.” They can learn foods and nutrition by cooking, by playing games, by eating, by going to a grocery store, or by planning menus for a picnic. Poise and confidence in presenting oneself is taught by 4-H also. You don’t sign for a nutritional diet. Variety is the spice of life, says the old proverb. From a nutritional prospective, the American Council on Science and Health says a wide choice of foods from the Basic Four Food Groups should be selected to avoid excesses and to insure the consumption of essential vitamins and minerals. A well-balanced diet should include a few choices of foods each day, preferably at each meal, from the Basic Four Food Groups.

Leading younger members in games, being a club of ficer, modeling in a 4-H Fashion Show, doing a show and-tell, or being in a skit at camp are all ways that youth develop confidence in themselves in 4-H. When kids learn in 4-H, they are developing the skills that they will need as adults. And they can use those skills on the road to adulthood, too. 4-H is the youth development program of the Cooperative Extension Service.
