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 In?tb??picture above you see some of the members ~0f~ | the Paschall Home Demon stration Club preparing some i of their delicious brunswick stew for consumption by a j large number of people at i one of their summer picnics. First thing you know, some j one will come along and find ! something wrong with this kind of food and you can be sure you will have a skull I busting fight on your hands i in addition to a lot of ugly I wordi. 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." Soil Conservation News 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.
