American Diet Flaws Revealed NEW YORK, June A leading research scientist. cited four things "wrong with ths American diet" and suggested four changes.

In the June issue of Town A Country magazine, Dr. Jeremiah, Stamler, an American Heart Association investigator, said recent findings indicated that "the habitual diet is a decisive factor responsible 1 for increased heart disease. Here's what is wrong with our diets. Dr. SUimlcr said: "Many Americans cat too much; we eat too much fat, particularly of the saturated variety; we eat too many carbohydrates, fats and starches, 'empty calorie' foods that are high in calories and low In nutrients and bulk.

"And our diets are unbalanced," with too many calories In proportion to nutrients. Dr. Stamler suggested these changes: adding fats to so many foods by frying moats, dressing salads with mayonnaise and putting butter on vegetables. fruit for dessert. breakfast habits." Eat fruit and whole-grain cereals and breads instead of the traditional bacon and eggs, which has "a caloric intake of saturated fat." At other meals, cat lean meats; don't fry them or add heavy sauces or gravies.
