CHOLESTEROL
There is so much contro
versy concerning eating hab
its, kinds of foods, dieting,
etc., that farmers are up in I
arms as to what is heresay,
prejudices or right. Experts
and "so-called" experts are
contradicting each other all
over the world and people
that attempt to take thin.es
seriously are now really con
fused.

i of their delicious brunswick
stew for consumption by a
j large number of people at

kind of food and you can be

The following article clears
| up a few things which was
, originally published in "The
Drovers Journal," Chicago,
j and republished in the No
vember 3. 1962 "American
. Farm Bureau Federation
i Newsletter":
| "Livestock and dairy pro
ducers got a real break last
,week when the American
Medical Aasn. issued a state
ment advising the American
people to atop risking their
health through futile diets
aimed at reducing cholesterol
In the blood, n said the
'anti-fat, anti-cholesterol fad
is not just foolish and fu
tile?it also carries some
risk,' and told them they will
be acting wisely if they go
back to a well-balanced diet
chosen from the four basic
food groups. One of these
groups, of course, is the
meat group?beef, veal, lamb,
pork, poultry, eggs and tish.
"The medical group aimed
its rood advice mainly at the
faddists who have adopted
"do-it-yourself" anti-choleste
rol diets as a result of fears
Unking animal fat* to heart
attacks. Indirectly, they took
a poke at food processors
who have taken advantage of
these fears to tell more cook
ing oils, margarine, and other
foods derived from vegetable
oils.
"Scientific reports linking
cholesterol and heart attacks
have touched oft a new food
fad among do-it-yourself
Americans. But dieters who
believe they can cut down
their blood cholesterol with
out medical supervision are
in tor a rude awakening" it
warns. "It cant be done. It
could even be dangerous to
try."
"There are several reasons
why," explains AMA. "For
one, an individual cannot
know how much cholesterol
his blood contains until this
is determined by laboratory
tests. By the same token,
he cannot know whether any
diet changes have raised or
lpwaind his blood cholesterol
level unless it Is scientifical
ly measured.
"In the second place, a
person's entire food intake
be precisely regulated
to lower blood cholesterol.
Willy-nilly substitution of a
tow food items without over
all control of the diet accom
plishes little, if anything, in
reducing cholesterol. What
If 1 " " " WHFM
of certain foods of
tical importance to the gen
eral public. ...
"While much remains to be
learned about cholesterol and j
other aspects of nutrition,
scientists do know that the |
American diet provides all j
| the nutrients essential to I
health and that a varied diet;
. is the best way of maintain
1 ing a high level of health.
fTtre?vtrtual absences of diet
j ary diseases in this country
| attests to this fact.
I "The American diet did not
happen by accident. It re
sulted from much accumulat
ed research and experience.
Any changes in a diet of
such proven worth must
await more study and exper
ience.
"For good nutrition, the
American Medical Association
Council recommends a well
balanced diet chosen from
these four basic food groups:
"The Milk Group?milk,
cheese and ice cream.
"The Meat Group?beef,
veal, lamb, pork, poultry,
eggs and fish.
"The Vesetable-Fruit Group
?fruits and vegetables rich
in vitamins A and C.
"The Bread-Cereal Group?
whole grain, enriched or re
stored.
"Butter, margarine, fats or
oils also are needed. Even
those on weight-reduction
regimens need food from all
these groups.
"Although some day science
may come up with a diet that
can prevent heart disease,
such a development aopears
to be well into the future,
it probably would take a gen
eration to prove whether any
diet can reduce deltas dm to
heart or blood vessel disease.
"To test such a theory ade
quately requires a large scale,
lone-term study. . . .
"In the meantime, advanc
ing knowledge may reveal i
other factors of possibly more
importance than cholesterol
in heart disease. For exam
ple. the effect of various
kinds and amounts of carbo
hydrates, such as sugars and J.
starches, is being investigat
ed. and there is some evi
dence they may be a factor
in this disease process.
"At the same time, re
searchers are seeking other
ways to lower cholesterol.
Some experts believe drugs
will eventually prove to be
the preferred method. ..
"It should also be remem
bered that an elevated blood
cholesterol level is only one
of the factors implicated In
heart disease. Other import
ant factors are heredity, high
blood pressure, stress, and
smoking. svSg&iA
"The anti-fat, antl-chole?
ternl fad is not just foolish
and futile, however. It also
carries some risk," notes the
AM A. The risk, it explained,
arises from the loss of cer
tain nutrients as a result of
dropping certain foods from
the diet. If these are not
replaced, the body is shorted
on some essential nutrients.
"We hope this "^sMifole
statement by the AMA will
be read and heeded hp alf
Americans. livestock mP
ducers and feeders and their 1
organisations will do well to,
give it the broadest circula
tion possible."

Quail Need Cover Aral
Food. Says White
!sT*
jT
f|S
?rt
By NAT WHITE,
Soil Coasenratieaist
We have enjoyed excellent
ouail hunting in Warren
County during the last few
yeari. This good hunting has
resulted from changes in land
use patterns that have been
beneficial to quail. If this
excellent hunting is to con
tinue the quail will need a
helping hand.
There are two things nec
essary for quail that the land
owner can provide: food and
cover. In roost eases the
quail have plenty of cover,
and food is the limiting fac
tor. Food patches planted
along field borders between
the field and woods, in plant
bed patches, and in odd cor
ners are excellent for quail.
Seed mixtures for these
patches can be obtained from
the N. C. Wildlife Resources
C om m m i s s i o n. Ap
plication blanks are available
at any of the Agricultural of
fices.
Some farmers use all of
their land in crops, pasture,
hay, or woodland. Unless
these farmers make some
provision for food and cover
the quail hunting on their
farm will be very poor. The
non-productive area between
the woods and field can be
seeded to serlcea lespedesa
lor cover and blcolor lespe
,i- -a,' .i>
,11
deza for food. When Med W
crowns *re furnished bf tkt
N. C. Wildlife BMOureM
Commission directions fori,
planting is furnished with the _
seed. . - -IT*
If the land owner wants'
quail on his farm he wOt)
have to provide food and
cover. If he it interested in
a wildlife program he -
get help and information,
from any of the Agrieottan^ i
workers.
