...certainly do so at a profit, provided there is sufficient consumer demand. It also proved that the diet was effective in lowering the men's blood levels of cholesterol-generally accepted as an index of potential damage to coronary arteries and therefore of the risk of heart attacks...
...recent sessions of the American Heart Association and affiliated arteriosclerosis research groups, and of the American Medical Association, hundreds of cardiologists and angiologists, physiologists and epidemiologists, have presented scores of learned papers on the findings from their research on Bantu and Eskimos, Finns and Yugoslavs, Norwegians and Japanese, Britons and Americans...
Among the most intensively studied Americans are the townsfolk of Framingham, Mass., where 6,500 men and women out of a population of 45,000 have had their blood pressure, cholesterol levels, weight and smoking habits checked for a dozen years against their development of heart disease and their incidence of heart attacks. The Framingham results to date, says Dr. William B. Kannel, indicate that a man with high blood cholesterol has almost three times the average risk of a heart attack. More alarming, if one man is exposed to two threefold risk factors-a heavy smoker with high blood...
These jigsaw pieces do not fit together into a neat picture. Dr. Robert H. Furman of the University of Oklahoma says that the dietary habits of men who have died of heart attacks, as compared with the diets of survivors of the same age, living on the same street, doing the same work, smoking as much and exercising as little, show no consistent difference. This means, to Furman, that the men who have heart attacks-in many cases, fatal-early in life are a metabolically distinct group. The trouble is that so far no one has found a quick test...
...nonconceivable) purpose, many doctors suggest that a near-ideal solution would be the discovery of a one-a-day pill that would enable people to eat all the luxury foods they want without damaging their arteries. As yet, no such drug is in sight. That is why heart researchers are turning toward the notion of Government-imposed diet control, which they rather euphemistically call "environmental engineering." "It is futile," says Framingham's Kannel, "to try to get the public to defer something now for future benefit." No matter how frightening the statistics, the public will go on getting...
