Letrs Take Stock - '1978
_ Another year is about to be cornp:leted and as we look back we can count a number of things for which the poultry industry can be thankful.
The work of the American Egg Board and the National Conmission on Egg Nutrition has
been yeoman in putting the cholesterol issue to bed. Although the batili'fras not been won' current just research indicates the heart disease problem is-far more complex then eliminating cholesterol containing foods from the diet. Yet is is simple in some
respects_as the Arnerican Fledical Association is stil'l reconrnending a prudent, well balanced diet utilizing.the four major food groups (which includes €9gs, mitt< irouuctj and meat) to insure an adequate supply of all the nutrients. The main-objectivb is to csntrol
obesi!V ang this means total caloric intake. Carbohydrates, fats and proteins al1 prcvide
calories when taken in excess. Thus, the normal popllation-need not bb deprived of'these
nourishing f,oods,
Most recently, the Federal Trade Commission has just released its proposed regulations
regarding cholestero] advertising. Reports are that the advertising may nbt say t[at
eating eggs will increase serum cholestero'l or the risk ot heart diieasl. Aavei-tising
may not say that a particular food will or even may reduce serum cholesterol or heart disease. Claims that a specific dibtary plan w'i1'l reduce serum cholesterol or heart disease.will,fro! be permitted. The statement ffiTd say "May reduce" these factors. If people tcnow theip grarrnaF, tFey wil'l understand may doesn't guarantee anything. It is
a sure bet that only that small percentage who are genetically prone to hypercholesteremia
may be helped.
It As Henk Wentink, NCEN chairman has said, "Industry has come a long way since 1975.,, is through the help of everyone in the egg industry that such progress has been made to unravel the mystery of heart disease - There is still a long way Lo Eo.
. ..Today mol"e and more physiclrans are using eggs for thelr patients and including them in diets as they are learning that eggs are nutiitious and not hannful. As we've iaid
before, €995 arne the standard of comparison in nutrition experiments today.
As a result of all of this, current reports indicate the year'ly drop in egg con-sumption
has stopped and will turn around this year. It might-be wlll tb take-itock at
home and determine what your_egg- consumption is. For exampie, my wife and I eat two eggs
e_verlt morning, a yearly total of 730 apiece. In addition, we may have a hard cooked egg
for lunch or a 2 egg omelet for supper. One must also count the eggs used in cooking.
One rnay see that our consumption is far above the nationa'l averaEe.
