Response to Diet. The offending molecules occurred in every patient with an underactive thyroid, and in more than 90% of those with high blood pressure or coronary insufficiency. Perhaps even more significant for the future: more than half of the men and a third of the women with no known disease of the heart or arteries showed high levels of Sf 10-20 molecules. These people, Dr. Gofman suggested, may be those who, in time, will develop atherosclerosis...
Most hopeful was Dr. Gofman's report of the patients' response to a low-fat low-cholesterol diet.* After a few weeks there was a marked reduction in the concentration of abnormal molecules in their blood. The patients who had once had a heart attack showed just as much improvement as healthy men. But, Dr. Gofman emphasized, there was no evident connection between diet and the total amount of cholesterol of all kinds in the blood. Fortunately, the abnormal molecules, which seem to be involved in atherosclerosis are the ones that can be largely controlled by diet...

One eating place proudly lists six different combinations: a choice of sal tines or graham crackers with milk, half & half, or cream. At least one "they" expert was no longer operating: Frederick N. Goldsmith, who thought the comic strips disclosed what "they" were buying & selling and who peddled the tips in his market letter...
