Lower Cholesterol With Moderation Not Martyrdom
BY JOYCE BUPP
York Co. Correspondent
COLUMBIA, Md. How diet
affects the blood cholesterol is not
as “cut and dried” as it has been
reported to be in past years,
according to some diet
researchers.
“We have to get over the idea
that everything we eat is going to
kill us,” observes David Kritch
evsky, Ph.D, Assistant Director of
the Wistar Institute of Anatomy
and Biology. And, while exercise
is beneficial, weight loss appears
to ha ve a greater effect on lowering
cholesterol.
Dr. Kritchevsky was the fea
tured speaker for the annual meet
ing of the Chesapeake Bay Divi
sion, Dairy Food and Nutrition
Council of the Southeast, held
Monday at the Columbia Inn. The

Pennsylvania State University’s

assigned to Adams County. She

County Extension Office effective
January 18, 1988.
James J. McKeehen, Regional
Director for Cooperative Exten
sion, said Redding would begin
her educational duties on February
12, 1988.
A native of Gettysburg, she pre
pared for college at Gettysburg
High School and earned her bache
lor of science degree from Indiana

According to Dr. Kritchevsky,
high blood cholesterol is one of
several risk factors, including
smoking and high blood pressure,
linked to increased risk of heart
attacks.
However, individual’s blood
cholesterol levels may vary,
according to time of day, season of
the year, stress, even the body’s
position at time of testing. One
cholesterol test, he noted, may be
an indicator, but may not necessar
ily present an accurate overall
level. A series of ten, he believes,
is necessary for accuracy.
Citing various studies, Dr.
Kritchevsky related research data

Junior High at Gettysburg and

showing that, if cholesterol intake
from food sources is reduced, the
body may increase its production
of the substance necessary for cer
tain functions. Likewise, extra
cholesterol intake generally trig
gers the liver to stop its own
cholesterol output.
“The good guys are getting bad
and the bad guys getting good,”
Dr. Kritchevsky noted, reflecting
on moderating trends in diet
recommendation.

elements needed for a balanced
diet.
On the other hand, says Kritch
evsky, bran is not the best fiber for
the body, and soluble fibers from
fruits and vegetables are more like

although they must be consumed
in fairly large quantities. Popcorn,

“The Social Security System is

diet as a generally healthy one.
Countries with higher fat diets
