Food Faddists. In women's magazines appeared ads from Corn Products Refining Co. praising "golden-light" Mazola salad-and-cooking oil as "pure corn oil . . . not hydrogenated, unsaturated, nutritionally unexcelled." In medical journals, Corn Products sharpened its attack, invited doctors to write in for a free booklet, "Vegetable Oils in Nutrition." stressing reports on the connection of undesirable fats and heart disease.
