Lecithin, The Life-Giver
by Kay L . Haraguchi, R.N
In these days of w orry over
the high cholesterol content of
our diets and its ’ possible re
lationship to heart disease,
it*s nice to know of a food sub
stance which actually lowers
the blood cholesterol level.
This substance is lechitbin.In
the body lecithin acts as a fat
em ulsifier, that is, it breaks
down fat in the blood stream.
Lecithin has also been found to
be a m ajor building block of
brain and nerve tissues and of
the male reproductive fluid.
As the body ages, its ’ abil
ity to use dietary fatdecreas-
es. Adding lecithin to the diet
under experimental conditions
has enabled the blood level of
fat to become normal after a
meal as rapidly in older per
sons as in the young. This in
dicates that including lecithin
containing foods in our menus
may help to avoid heart attacks
thus prolonging the years of
vigorous life .
Eggs, although high in cho
lesterol are also high in leci
thin. They contain many of the
important B vitamins. If fe r
tilized, they contain vitam inE .
These vitamins areextremely
beneficial both to the nervous
and circulatory systems, so
unless your doctor recom
mends it, do not lim it eggs in
your diet.
While lecithin can be pur
chased in capsules and in
granule form at health food
stores, a wise cook can add it
to her fam ily’ s diet by making
use of the soy bean. Soybeans
are just about the highest nat
ural source of lecithin. L9e
soy bean oil instead of short
ening or lard when cooking.
Soy flo u r is a good addition to
breads, muffins, etc. Simply
substitute part of your usual
flo u r fo r soy flo u r. Use soy
bean dishes and casseroles.
They provide complete protein
in addition to lecithin, which
makes them an excellent meat
«ibstitute. Japanese people
make a cheese, called tofu,
from soy beans. It is avail
able in Japanese food stores
along with recipes fo r its ’ use.
Many young people in the
U.S. have been found to be af
flicted with high blood choles
terol levels because they con
sume so many saturated fats.
Don’ t take chances with your
health o r the health of your
loved ones. Follow some of the
above suggestions. You’ l l fiixl
mighty good eating and reap
the rewards of better living.

Christm as
at Alpenrose
D airyiand is a tune of fun and
festivltie sl From the tim e you
d rive up to the large parking
lo t at 6 149s.W. Shattuck Road,
an atmosphere of excitement
prevails.
Nearby is a long, white,
covered "s ta tio n " platform ,
where many gaily dressed
people and their children are
waiting fo r the sleighs to ro ll
in. There they come - - the
famous Alpenrose Shetland
ponies, so famous in summer
fo r free rides in the parks are
harnessed in teams to sleighs
on wheels, each with a young
d riv e r. From 8-12 passen
gers board e.ich sleigh, and
are whisked away to the sour*!
of the m e rrily jingl uig bells of
the ponies - past a beautiful
fountain spraying high In the
a ir, along the road to a large
plaza of gleaming white build
ings decorated gaily fo r the
fe stivitie s.
What to d o firs tl Everything
is waiting. Perhaps the most
famous is Storybook Lane, in
fo rm e r years at the Lloyd
Center, and fo r the past sev
eral years in S.W. Portland
D airyiand. Everything is free.
As the line enters the build
ing, a long lane of snowywhlte
Christm as trees greets the
eye. In back of a small fence
are tiny houses fo r the animals
each with a verse something
like the following: "T h e G o ld -
en Goose slept on his nest of
hay, dreaming of feasting on
C hristm as day." A real live,
soft grey sleepy donkey to pet,
anil baby pigs and rabbits a-xi
wooly sheep. Even ducks are
swimming on a pond. AU is
suitable to a child's taste, and
they may pat the animals and
delight in them to their heart’ s
content.
Next the children may see
Santa In pei son, and whisper
to him their secret longings.
He even has small treats fo r
them, if they have been good.
Nearby are his ponies, which
they may ride. There a re many
