So it is with eating. A balance should be struck between first impluse and appreciation of the consequences of such indulgence. The child learns to save room for dessert; the adult knows that the continuance of pleasure, demands a measure of denial. But how, actually, is this nice balance struck? The appetite is normally a good guide on how much to eat. However, it can be deceived by rich foods.

The most concentrated sourconcealed calories, by 'skillful cookery so that palate and stomach do not detect the excessive concentration of food values until obesity threatens. However, the accumulation of body fat is soon seen and felt. The sensible person who is getting fat recognizes that diet control is necessary, and the obvious solution is to eat smaller portions than prompted by his appetite. A further step in wisdom, we think, would be to change the character of the diet. This would give the appetite more effective control.

This means the selection of a bulkier diet with fewer calories per bite. In the history of humanity, few people had an opportunity, to eat too much and too richly. Thus, it is natural that we have little instinct to curb an appetite for luxurious eating. If we are confronted with an abundance of fat foods and no persuasion otherwise, we may maintain a high fat diet and still control obesity. This seems to be where the average American i9 today.

Prosperity has produced a new situation where an endless supply of food encourages us to eat foods formerly limited by scarcity and expense. Moreover, as the need for physical work and therefore for food calories decreases, the diet tends to be adjusted by cutting staples. Why eat bread when there is plenty of cake and you cannot eat both? But all this may not be pure gain. The pleasure of eating demands hunger, and the delights of rich foods pall STAR April 13, 1959 AND LIVE WELL' Learns It Can't Have Trim Waistline Why This Book This book was written to meet a practical need. Something had to be done about a flood of requests, from colleagues and the public, for information about the relationship between coronary heart disease, cholesterol in the blood, and the character of the diet.

We are aware that full understanding of these questions is not at hand. No one knows why saturated fats cause the blood cholesterol to rise, how this cholesterol is deposited in the walls of the arteries, or what causes the blood to clot in such damaged arteries. However, we believe that control of the cholesterol and related lipids in the blood must have an important effect on the tendency to develop atherosclerosis. And we know that control of the blood cholesterol is possible through diet control. Moreover these diets are excellent for weight control.

Finally, we know that such diets can be delightful and varied. This book is the result. in everyday use. Most important, it is not reasonable that the road to a good diet is pursued by an increase in the use of softer, sweeter, and fatter foods. It appears that high fat diets may promote coronary heart disease and that much of the current "plague" of this disease, the leading threat to the health of American adults, has its origin in our modern dietary habits.

This evidence does not prove that fats in the diet are the sole cause of coronary heart disease. It is probable that several factors contribute. But the case for dietary fats being an important factor is impressive and the inferences are obvious. The first part of this book is a review of what we know about the diet and heart disease. The dietary suggestions later in this book are designed for eating pleasure in a pattern capable of endless variation within a framework of sound nutrition and moderation in fats.

These menus and recipes are not guaranteed to save you from coronary heart disease. But they should keep your blood cholesterol at a favorable level and, we trust, will afford new interest in the kitchen and enduring pleasure at the table. Ask yourself why you ate what you did last week. You probably will answer that you ate the foods you liked if it was convenient to get them. And then you may add you ate what was good for you.

All peoples have strong convictions about what foods Dr. White Cites Book as Nutrition Landmark Dr. Paul Dudley White came a familiar figure on the American news scene in late 1955. He had been called to Washington as a consultant for President Eisenhower following Ike's heart seizure in September 1955. But the medical profession knew of Dr.

White's stature as a heart specialist as long ago as 1922 when he helped found the American Heart association. In 1954, his colleagues elected him president of the International Society of Cardiology. Thus, his Dr. White Dr. White background emphasizes Dr.

White's recommendation "to both physicians and to laymen of this useful and interesting book" by Dr. Ancel Keys and his wife, Margaret, on diet and coronary disease. Dr. White adds that, "this volume is unique because it is a happy blending of the scientific aspects of nutrition, the hazards of overnutrition and the pleasures of the table." "The first part of this book." says Dr. White, "opens with a concise explanation of the reasons for the need of such a book as this.

"The presentation of the various kinds of heart disease brings out the compelling challenge of the prime threat to our health and life today, serious coronary atherosclerosis and throm- Joan Swanson Engaged to Dr. Johnson Eat Cake Too vitamins and minerals in our foods, and of fads and fancies, exposing many falsities of current food claims," continues the famed heart specialist. Citing the value of Dr. Keys' discussion of food stuffs, bread, soups, salads, vegetables, milk and milk products, Dr. White states that the book is a "landmark on the way to a better understanding of nutrition." Dr.

White also calls attention to "valuable" menus and an important list of contents of food in calories, protein and fat and of drink. (Dr. and Mrs. Keys live at 3270 Owasso Heights, St. Paul.

Dr. Keys, who holds doctor of philosophy degrees in physiology and biology, is a professor at the University of Minnesota.) MARGARET KEYS DR. ANCEL KEYS are "good" for them. The notions of primitive peoples on this point are compounded of the experience of the tribe, distorted by taboos and superstitions. Our own opinions about what we should or should not eat have the same basis plus the influence of advertising and an increasing reflection of the reports from modern scientific studies on nutrition.

The most obvious influence on our diet is food availability. Our current American diet reflects a superabundance of foods in variety undreamed of not long ago. Certainly the American diet is the most expensive in the world. An answer to a As to health, our current American diet seems to prevent the classical deficiency diseases but there are other populations whose diets are low in meat and dairy fats and who are not plagued with deficiency diseases either. We praise our American diet because 'our children grow bigger than their parents, ignoring the fact that the same trend is apparent in populations all over the world.

Anyway, it is naive to insist that body size is a reliable measure of health in youth, let alone in later life. And our big health problem today is with our adults. The needs of the body, as as the dangers of disease, are different after physical growth is completed. Until lately the main concern of nutritionists has been to discover and correct dietary deficiencies. And their advice has been to make sure we get enough nutrients.

Most experimental work on nutrition has been limited to -term studies on animals. Laboratory animals and man alike have similar basic nutritional needs, but quantitatively they differ. The human counterpart of an animal's diet is difficult to specify. There are special difficulties when we ask about the role of the diet in preventing or promoting the diseases that now pose the most seri- Beauty at Budget Prices Permanent Waves Cold Waves $5,00 Machine Waves 650.

In the first section, Diet and Health, we had our colleagues in mind. Some of them believe practically nothing can be proved and that scientific research is fun so long as you do not seriously expect it to produce useful results.

Others are not so remote from reality. However, they also doubt that the public can ever be told a straight scientific story and understand it. We believe that the educated public is capable of understanding a discussion of heart disease and the diet without generalities and the oversimplification that produces distorted ideas. So we have attempted to present the facts and concepts accurately even though they are sometimes complex. We constantly asked two questions: First, are the facts fairly stated? Second, are they clear? How far we have succeeded will be seen.

flood of requests Lous problems for human health. Some diseases, such as cancer, seem to be independent of the diet. Others, such as the major human heart diseases, almost never occur spontaneously in the animals used in dietary experiments. Nevertheless, dietary experiments on animals have produced notable findings that have relevance to our concern about adult human health. One is that underfed rats live longer than full-fed animals.

Another is that diets that raise the cholesterol in the blood lead to a disease of the arteries which, in man, is basic to coronary heart disease. Heart disease accounts for about half of all our deaths in America today. But there are many kinds of heart disease, with different causes, and we are concerned here only with one kind, coronary heart disease. A brief review of the kinds of heart disease should be helpful. Congenital heart disease is the kind you are born with.

This disease is not common. It is a small part of our total heart problem. Heart disease caused by syphilis used to be fairly common but it is becoming extremely rare in America and many other countries. Diet plays no role in producing syphilitic heart disease. Rheumatic fever heart disease deforms the valves of the heart and is generally believed to be a special kind of reaction to an infection.

Hypertension can produce MRS. EDWIN C. BRAMAN Artist poses with some of her work You Name It and She'll Decorate It heart disease by constantly overstraining the heart, and next to coronary heart disease, it is the most common and fatal kind of heart disease in America. It causes some 15 per cent of all heart deaths. In hypertension the arteries of the body are constricted so that only by pumping at a higher pressure can the heart maintain adequate blood flow.

The constant high blood pressure also damages the arteries. Sometimes the cause of hypertension can be found in the kidneys or in an overgrowth of' a part of the adrenal gland, but the cause of most hypertension is unknown. Obesity is believed to favor its development. Finally we come to coronary heart disease, the condition produced by interference with the blood flow in the arteries that supply the heart muscle itself. According to our vital sta- tistics, this one disease is killing Americans at a rate of almost half a million a year.

This is nearly twice the toll of all cancers and other tumors, the second leading cause of death, and close to nine times the deaths caused by motor vehicles. Moreover, it is not true, as sometimes imagined, that coronary heart disease is mainly a problem for the aged. Among United States white males in 1955, coronary heart disease is blamed for 138,850 deaths under the age of 70 (81 per cent of all heart deaths in this age group). Worse still, in contrast with our other health problems, coronary heart disease seems to be increasing. But in this black picture there is a growing belief that we can we will, reverse the trend.

From studies on populations all over the other researches, we believe that coronary heart disease should be preventable and that dietary adjustment offers a real hope. The theory that tension promotes coronary heart disease leads to smug selfpity say Dr. Ancel Keys and his wife, Margaret, in Tuesday's selections from Eat Well and Live Well. A creative flair, a fine major and snatches of free time prompted Mrs. Edwin Braman, 2218 Sargent St.

Paul, to take up decorating. First, she trimmed felt Christmas stockings. On bright colored grounds, she stitched elegant angels, birds, trees, trains and other imaginative designs. Her tools were a tiny pair of nail scissors, colorful bits of felt, glittering sequins, a needle and thread. These clever stockings were received with such acclaim that she sold them to Hattie Carnegie, Lilly Dache and other shops across the country.

With the arrival of son, Mike, Mrs. Braman's stocking trimming became more of a hobby. She did, however, continue to collect colorful scraps of felt, silk and laces. All of these will eventually be used as decoration, somewhere by this talented young woman. Now, spare time while Mike, 4, and Tommy, are out from under is spent on many projects.

They include appliqueing cashmere sweaters, making fabric pictures, decorating porch furniture, covering knick-knack and match boxes. Some she uses for gifts, others she keeps. Somehow, she even finds time to work on an evergrowing braid rug.
