...influence on blood cholesterol. Saturated fats in meat and dairy products promote production of cholesterol in quantities too large for the body to excrete. Mono-unsaturated fats (predominant in olive oil, most margarines) have no apparent effect at all on blood cholesterol levels. Polyunsaturated fats, such as those in corn, cottonseed or fish oils, on the other hand, actually lower cholesterol by increasing the excretion of bile acids...
...calories, only 20% of which come from fats of any kind, 5% from saturated fats. A sample menu: pasta al brodo (turkey broth with noodles), veal scallopine a la Marsala, fresh green beans, homemade Italian bread (no margarine or butter), cookies, a tossed salad (dressed with tarragon vinegar and corn oil), espresso coffee and fruit...
...Industries, the trade association of legitimate distillers, complained last week. Moonshiners themselves are lamenting their own losses to a new and formidable competitor, who does not have to worry about revenooers busting up his stills. The competitor: Georgia's Viking Distillery, which has brought out a 90-proof corn whisky, Georgia Moon, that is just as throat-burning, stomach-churning and aggressively youthful (none older than 30 days) as its backwoods counterpart.

But it had little success in bucking the ingrained habits of shine drinkers, who like to drink out of Mason jars, the South's traditional moonshine container. After dickering with the Treasury, Viking got permission last month to put its corn likker into Mason-jar fifths (retail price...
Producers of unsaturated fats, such as Mazola Corn Oil and Wesson Oil, were ready, too. They took full-page ads in the nation's newspapers to echo the A.H.A. action. And in Minneapolis, Physiologist Keys-who helped draft the A.H.A. statement-called it an acceptable compromise, although it contained "some undue pussyfooting." Said he: "The A.H.A. had to get the facts out. A deal like this includes a great deal of commercial pressure. People in the meat, dairy, butter, and oils industries have billions at stake. They're very unhappy. The vegetable oil people are delighted. We couldn...
