This book was mentioned. in last months Feathergram. At that time, we said we
would have more to say about the book after we had reviewed it.
The book is well written with excellent examples to illustrate a point he is
trying to make. The book provides a good discussion of the basics involved in nutrition.
This is important as one must understand these to apply nutrition, Probably the most
important aspect is the book is written in language a layman will be able to understand.
Altho, often books of this kind are difficult for the average person to understand.
If there is one item which is lacking, it is an absence of a list of references
which one might use for further study.

To quote one smal'l item from the chapter on diet and heart disease one may see
the way in which the book is written. - "By picking out only one aspect of this most
complicated disease, that the risk of developing a heart attack is associated with the
amount of cholesterol in the blood, many doctors, many medica'l organizations and much
popular writing have done a great disservice to the public. They have produced a large
number of hypochondriacs, and have diverted a vast amount of research talent and an
astronomical amount of money from lines of research that, I am certain, wou'ld have been
far more profitable."
Mae Martha Johnson, our Extension Foods and Nutrition Specia'list said, "It was one
of the most readab'le, comprehensive books she has seen on the subject."

At the cost of being accused of beating a dead horse, additional corments should
be of interest regarding the Diet-Cho'lesterol-Heart disease controversy. An interesting
reply to the paper reported 'last fall by Dr. Mann appeared in the New England Journal
of Medicine for June 29, 1978. It was prepared by three members of the Nutrition Com-mittee
of the American Heart Association. The paper is couched in conditional terms
such as would, could, maybe, and physicians believe. Very little new, current research
has included. It did not carry the typical AHA Diet Propaganda they have been giving
out as the answer to the heart problem but indicated more research was necessary. The
Jrost interesting sentence was the last one which is "A reasoned resolution of the con-
-troversy is not currently possible." Is this a case of trying to save face?
