Die has improved but risk factors Are Many Dean skinders by Michael 3. Halberstam  those who believe that we Are what we  periodic warnings about risk fac tors in the american diet Are far from reas Jyring. The latest study by the Senate select committee on nutrition and human needs says americans Are endangering their health by eating too much fat sugar cholesterol and Salt and not enough fruit vegetables and Grain products. The commit tee recommends no less than a revolution i eating habits. Affluence has indeed stuffed the Ameri can stomach with fat. Sugar cholesterol and potentially harmful food additives. Still the health hazards of this fare Are probably  american diet has improved immeasurably during the past so years. Families during the 1920s and 1930s enjoyed nothing like the variety of foods available  for the past makes us forget that. For some americans potatoes turnips boiled cabbage and occasional meat were the Staples. Neighbourhood groceries offered tried Beans Tough beef and some wilted let Tuce. Fresh fruits were served at Christmas if then. Dairy products and salads were scarce and scurvy and rickets  s diet while better than that of the Good old  could nevertheless stand shift in emphasis since excessive saturated fat intake has proven to be related to obesity High cholesterol Levels atherosclerosis narrowing of the arteries and heart Dis  this Means cutting Down on foods Rich in saturated fats Many of which Are found i animal products fatty red meat shorten ing butter eggs cheese whole milk Cream some Frozen or powdered Coffee creamers Bacon pork and sausage to name some of the worst offenders. It also Means cutting Back on High cholesterol foods such As eggs and Organ meats. These foods should be replaced whenever possible with 1 unsaturated fats such As those found in vegetable products Peanut Olive soybean com and safflower Oil and certain Oleomargar Ines 2 Low fat fish poultry Lamb and veal and 3 starchy carbohydrates dark Green and yellow vegetables fruits cereals breads Rice potatoes dry peas and  foods quell the appetite better than foods High in fat and sugar contain More nutrients and vitamins and Cost less. Sugar is a More controversial matter. The average american eats about 100 pounds of refined sugar each year in soft drinks Candy Sweet baked goods syrups Sweet ened cereals and processed foods. Sugar indefinitely linked to tooth decay although its relationship to heart disease and other ail ments remains speculative. Because sugar is High in calories and Low in nutritional value we should eat less of i for weight control reasons alone. Two is especially advisable when sugar comprises Over one fourth of our daily caloric intake. By eliminating soft drinks from the diet most people could Cut sugar intake in half. Many diets contain too much Salt from6 to 18 Grams daily when about half a Gram would suffice. The effects of Salt on High blood pressure and diseases of the blood vessels Are unproven. But still it is Wise to Cut Back on Salt consumption. Food additives Are also surrounded by controversy and again there is no hard proof that they Are harmful to health. In Gen eral the less processed foods contain fewer additives and Are More nutritious. For example Brown Rice is better than converted Rice and both contain More nutrients than enriched or instant Rice. Hot cooked cereals Are More nutritious than ready to eat or in Stant hot cereals. Mealtime should not be an ordeal of Guit about fats sugar additives and the like. A life devoid of cakes convenience foods an fats would be Bleak indeed. It is a question of balance. As Long As fats sugar and additives remain the lesser part of our diets and fruits vegetables an grains the greater we will eat As Well As we can assuming of course that we Are not eating too much. Art Buchwald Washington prof. Heinrich Applebaum called me excitedly the other Day from his Laboratory at the National Institute of generic drug statistics. I think i be made a breakthrough in Medicine that could win me the Nobel  dropped everything and took a taxi to the professor s lab. He was waiting amongst his test tubes. What did you do i asked. I be developed a stronger rat that can survive any medical Experiment we perform on it. I got the idea when 1 read the data on the saccharin dispute. Some thing bothered me about it. Why were some of the rats getting sick after being forced to eat enough saccharin to kill a horse the scientists blamed the saccharin but no one blamed the White Rato there Are so Many agents being fed and injected into rate that they keep Keeling Over. Drug companies have put millions of dollars into re Sesser Only to be told theft could t Market their product because the White rats could t take it. So i decided there was Only one answer to the problem. And that was to develop a White rat who could stand up to anything we shoved  a White rat immune to any kind of disease the Fra would have to give its approval for the new  trick was to find the right Breeds. In every medical Experiment there Are White rats who Are survivors. In the Canadian tests of saccharin Only 12 of the 44 rats fed the stuff developed any symptoms. The other 32 thrived on the sweetener and became saccharin junkies."1 purchased the two Healthiest specimens and mated them and then mated their offspring and after four generations 1 got what 1wanteda super White rat that could withstand any punishment med ical science could inflict on  Are two of them. I be fed them the equivalent of 3.000 bottles of diet drinks a Day i be had them smoke 10 packs of cigarettes a hour i be filled their Cage with Carbon monoxide i be made Tris nighties for them which they have worn for three weeks. I be even strapped them to the engine of a concorde and As you can see none of the experiments has had any ill effect on . What does it All mean it Means a Bonanza for the drug and chemical industries. When drug did t come up to Fra standards everyone blamed the drug and not the rat. They will no longer have to lobby for less regulation on their products. It Means that All the data we now have on what causes sickness in rats will be obsolete. It Means once the orders Star coming in for my White rats i m going to be a millionaire not to mention the Nobel prize i  la have to give it to me Applebaum agreed.
