i gm ■r *** Is There Such A Thing As A Healthy Hog Dog? Summertime is barbecue time, and many health-conscious people are looking to grill leaner meats. What about hot dogs? Are certain types better for us than others? Do not be fooled into thinking that hot dogs made from chicken or turkey are low-fat foods. Surpris ingly, most brands of chicken hot dogs have just as much fat and sometimes even more cholesterol than their beef counterparts. For example, one beef frank has about 13.2 grams of fat and 22 mil ligrams of cholesterol, and one chicken frank may have between 8.8 and 13 grams of fat and 45 mil ligrams of cholesterol. Turkey hot dogs usually have about 8.1 grams of fat and 39 milligrams of cholesterol. All hot dogs are high in sodium ranging from 460 to 620 milli- Hey, Kids!

And most hot dogs contain nitrates or nitriles, which are added to many kinds of meat to eliminate the bacteria that cause botulism. These meat additives are the only effective anti-botulism additives known, but some research has suggested they may be linked to cancer in rats. When you barbecue, try not to char or blacken hot dogs because that can increase your exposure to poten tially carcinogenic elements in nitrites. Keep in mind that no hot dogs are considered low-fat or low sodium, and eat this summertime favorite in moderation. The American Institute of Cancer' Research suggests a limit of three to four ounces of salt-cured, smoked and charcoal-broiled foods per week.

So the more you know about the food you eat, the easier it is to plan healthy, well-balanced meals and snacks. For most Americans, a reliable source of nutrient informa tion is the nutritional level that appears on many food products. In 1973, the nutritional labeling concept was created by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a quick and easy way for consum ers to compare the nutritional val ue of different food brands and to estimate their daily intake of many important vitamins and minerals. Currently, the FDA says that nutritional labeling is voluntary except for foods that have nutrients added like enriched breads or forti fied milk and those that make nutritional claims, such as break fast cereals which claim they pro vide 100 percent of certain nutrients. Nutritional labels include two important areas of information. The upper portion contains infor mation about serving size. The lower portion contains the percen tage of the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA) for the eight required nutrients protein, five vitamins (vitamins A and C, thiamine, riboflavin and niacin) and two minerals (calcium and iron) plus any optional nutrient listings the manufacturer chooses to include, for example sodium and cholesterol content. If the amount of a nutrient is less than two percent of the U.S. RDA, an asterisk replaces the percentage. No one food supplies the right balance of all the nutrients we need. That’s why nutritional label ing can help you maintain and improve the quality of your diet. Maybe you cannot judge a book by its cover, but you can make good dietary choices by reading food labels. &Mli' V* 1 ' * (215) 267-4911 Mail To Box P-50 RD 2 Stevens PA 17578 State Joann Rishel, of Seven Valleys, who has compiled an outstanding record in 4-H work, was named State Photography Award winner in the 1987 4-H National Awards Program.
