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...
...scientific sessions in St. Louis, even onetime skeptics were prepared to concede that abnormal quantities of fatty material in the blood should be regarded as one of the major factors in producing heart-artery disease.* Thirty-two papers were presented on the subject; the evidence seemed overwhelming. Said Minneapolis Physiologist Ancel Keys: "No one can say that the maintenance of a low level of blood cholesterol will positively prevent development of artery disease. We don't know that this is the answer in whole or even in large part. But it's like a person with hypertension...
...Durovic came to the U.S. in 1949. At Chicago's Northwestern University Kositerin's effectiveness was proved to be almost nil. But Durovic was referred to the University of Illinois' Physiologist Andrew Conway Ivy. When Durovic saw Ivy, he told him that he had a drug named Krebiozen, extracted from horse blood, for treating cancer. Some scoffers assert that Kositerin became Krebiozen during a cab ride across town...
These findings were reported to the American Psychiatric Association at a long evening meeting, before a surprisingly wide-awake audience, by Dr. William Dement, 31, a research fellow in psychiatry at Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital. While a member of Physiologist Nathaniel Kleitman's research team at the University of Chicago, Dr. Dement had helped to settle an age-old question: Is dreaming continuous during sleep? The answer is no: it is intermittent. The beginning of a dream is signaled by brainwave changes shown on the electroencephalogram and by rapid eye movements...
With a few minor (still unexplained) exceptions, all the statistical findings are directly opposite to what would be assumed on the basis of "superficial thinking or snap judgment," said Dartmouth College's Physiologist Henry A. Schroeder. In fact, when he began his study, he expected to find that hard water went with hard arteries. He took off from a 1950-51 U.S. Geological Survey study of water supplies for 1,315 cities, covering 90% of the urban and 58% of the total population. The survey assigned a "hardness index" to water, found the national average was 97. Dr. Schroeder...
