Th e Medical Roundup u V Hardening of !iw ArtoriM Hundreds of people are now asking what thpy can do to cure harrjminz of the arteries, or to stave off the disease, or to stop it where it is after it has come, or per haps to keep it from going on and producing another heart attack or an other little stroke. Unfor- lir Alvarez tuna'ely, I haven't any very sood answer to these questions. Whether hardening of the ar teries comes early or late to a ni;m depends, I think, largely on hs heredity. If his father and mother both lived until they were 90, tlie chances are that he, too, will be long-lived. But if his father and his father's brother dropped dead before the age of 55, his outlooir, for Ion life is not so good. T-ir ye:irs V.e have known that, next to heredity, eating too much and getting stout is prob ably the commonest contributory cause of either hardening or ul (cration of the arteries. Of late, Dr. Aiccl Keys has been travel ing about the world studying the diets of those peoples who sel dom have arteriosclerosis and heart attacks, and comparing them with the diet3 of those peo ples (like Americans) who have much hardening of the arteries and many heart attacks. So far the evidence points to the bad effects of eating too much fat. People like the Japanese, who can afford very little fat in their diet, have a low incidence of heart attacks, while people like some of the Fuins, who eat much butter and animal fat, have many heart attacks, as we do in Amer ica. We in America, with our large average income, are ap parently eating too much fat. In terestingly, the descendants of Japanese living in California and eating much fat, are getting heart attacks much as the rest of us Americans do. Cholesterol ia Diet Today, the medical literature is full of articles on the fat-like substance called cholesterol, which apparently has much to do with ulcerations in the ar teries, and hence with heart at tacks and little strokes. Some doctors now think that every effort should be made to cut down on the amount of c'loles terol in the diet, but others, equally expert in this field, feel that this isn't the whole answer n rfiffiu that , m.r ran . . . i eat no cnotesierot ana Slill nave too much in his blood: his body can make it out of other foods. s. n think that animal fat are worse than veeetable fats, and otheri think that '"sat urated fats" or hard fats are worse than unsaturated fats and the more liquid oils. But as yet there is no agreement on this. Dr. John Gofman, of the Univer sity of California, has just pre sented figures to indicate that if we live on too starchy a diet we can increase our chances of get ting a heart attack. Against this is the finding by Dr. Keys in Italy that people who get stout on macaroni are not very subject to heart at tacks. Along the way the experts have not yet explained to my satisfaction why women, and even those who live on rich food and get much fatter than dc men, seldom get heart at tacks. iBetter Cut Down Obviously, until the experts begin to agree on a few things. I do not feel I have the right to say to my patients, "You must eat this or you must not eat that." All I feel like saying is. ' If you are stout and if you are eating much more than you nted. and particularly if you VACATION With The Greatest of Ease If It's a Question of Vacation Money We Have The Answer! Borrow The . . .

Some people want to know 'f they should go without sail Thank goodness, that fad is not being pushed as hard as it was a few years azo. The person I would put on a salt poor diet vould be one with a heart or kidney that had failed sn much that he was a bit water-logged. The removal of salt from the diet helps the person to get rid of an excess of fluid in his body. To take a man's salt away from him, simply because he has a little increase in blood pressure so far as I can see is unjusti fied. The wives of men who have been ordered onto a salt poor diet tell mp that, since they have been feeding their man tasteless food, he has been getting so angry with them every night at the table that they think his blood pressure has been pushed up higher than it ever was! 'Salt-Free' Diet Many people talk of a "salt free" diet. Actually, it is very hard to devise a salt-free diet, and this is lucky because al most salt-free diets can kill the patient. One of the most salt poor diets is the "rice diet," which can help a patient who is suffering from the severe symptoms of a very high blood pressure. In all dietetics the wise phy sician tries to keep his head. and refuses to prescribe some thing which will make the pa tient's life and his wife's life unbearable. Dr. Irvine Page, of Cleveland, one of the country's experts on hardening of arteries, teils how, for about a year he lived on an almost fatless diet. He says it was the most miser able year of his life, and that he got so irritable that hardly any of his friends could stand him! Dr. Alvarez hopes his readers will understand that it would be impossible for him to answer requests for information or to attempt to diagnose by mail.

Blue cheese from Denmark has long been a favorite of westerners who rel ish flavors of distinction. Danish Blue is liked, too, for its easy spreading texture. It is charac terized in general by visible blue-green veins of mold throughout the body of the cheese and its own sharp, pi quant flavor. Danish Blue keeps well in the refrigerator when snugly wrapped in waxed paper or aluminum foil. If the outside should develop some mold of its own, cut it away and enjoy the rest. Danish Blue Cheese Spread: An all-time favorite for easy en tertaining. Mix two parts blue cheese with I part softened but ter. Add Worcestershire sauce to taste and mix well. Place in cov ered container and refrigerate until an hour or so before time to serve. Blue Cheese Salad Dressing: Toss a green salad with this and listen to the raves. Crumble two ounces Danish Blue with a fork. Add three-fourths cup mayonnaise (and we do mean mayonnaise, not salad dressing), the juice of one lemon, two tea spoons Worcestershire sauce, two tablespoons light cream and ! ground black pepper to taste. It i ma-V Se?m thitl at first but il I will soon thicken up. Makes ap- i proximately two cups dressing Rhubarb Brown Betty Rosy rhubarb is a colorful harbinger of good summer eat ing. It is also on the plentiful foods lists these days. Ever so good just stewed and served as a breakfast fruit or spiced up for service as an accompaniment for meat or fish. It is also well thought of in such desserts as this: I cups stewed rhubarb I I 2 cups moist bread crumbs 3 4 cup sugar 1 1 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons grated orange rind 1 3 cup water Place half of the rhubarb in buttered casserole. Combine bread crumbs, sugar and cinna mon; sprinkle half over rhubarb and dot with half the butter. Re peat. Sprinkle with orange rind; add water and cover. Bake in moderate oven, 375 degrees, for 35 to 45 minutes. Especially de licious when served with hard sauce or a soft custard. Home Freezing of Fruit and Berry Pief If you're home freezing fresh fruit or berry pies, you'll be glad to know that quick-cooking tapioca can be used with complete satisfaction to thicken them. We have this on the ex cellent authority of a U.S.D.A. handbook on the subject. Tests have proven that fruit pies generally should be frozen before baking. They have fla kier, more tender crusts and fresher flavor than those baked VINCENT Editor 1 before freezing. The fresh fruit should be pre pared as usual and placed di rectly in the unbaked pie crust. Slits should not be made in the top crust before freezing. Pies should be snugly wrapped in moisture - vapor - proof material. If desired, they may be covered with stockinet or paper box be fore freezing. Before baking, generous slits should be cut in the top crust so that the thawed fruit as it ex pands has plenty of steam vents to prevent the bubbling juice from breaking the top crust. When thickening pies with quick-cooking tapioca, use the same amount of tapioca as you would of cornstarch. Use three fourths as much tapioca as flour; three tablespoons tapioca equals four tablespoons flour. Pimentos Give Gay Color Added Flavor lo Many Foods Pimentos with their gay color and distinctive delicate flavor can enhance any meal. Here are a few favored uses. Dress up cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup with coloful chopped pimientos. Cut pimientos into fancy shape for garnishing fish, mold ed salads, canapes. Chop several pimientos into a well-flavored cream sauce and pour over cauliflower, aspara gus, or other vegetables. Make bacon and pimiento sandwiches as a change from to mato and bacon. Chop vivid red pimientos into rice and arrange as a nest to hold vegetables, creamed tuna. or chicken a la king. Dip whole or sliced pimientos into pancake batter; deep fat fry and serve as a vegetable. Abundant Supplies of Berries, Lettuce, Eggs, Dairy Products Strawberries headline the list of abundant fruits. However most of the crop goes to proces s o r s, especially commercial freezers. If you're planning on "jamming" or freezing your own, we suggest you talk the sit uation over right now with your fruit man. Enjoy them right along for the season is short at best, whatever the prices. Other Fruit Buys: Oranges, grapefruit, rhubarb and cherries are in good supply. The grape season is really rolling. Apricot, nectarine, peach and plum prices are sliding downward as harvesting increases. A variety of berries are yours to choose from. Melons are becoming more abundant with small cantaloupes well priced. For the calorie con scious: Cantaloupes are loaded with good nutrition, yet average only 37 calories per half. Vegetable Department. Let tuce, that "Queen of the salad bowl", is in excellent supply. When buying Iceberg lettuce choose solid crisp fresh heads. If lettuce is to be kept, store in the refrigerator crisper; do not soak or remove the core, just rinse under running water and drain or shake off excess water. Pota toes, green and white onions, Friday, Juna 14, 1957 radishes, green beans, cabbage, carrots, celery, cauliflower, cu cumbers and squash are in good supply. Medium and small toma toes are better buys than large ones. Don't expect to find bar gain prices quoted for large to matoes. Asparagus is going, go ing, and will soon be gone. En joy now! Eggs and Poultry. Eggs are a must for the budget minded homemaker. How about making cream puffs from an easy-to-prepaie cream puff mix and filling them with an egg-rich cus tard. Flavorsome egg nogs are a nutrition-wise snack for grow ing children. Turkeys, particu larly mature hens, are going at very low prices. Prices on chick ens are juggling up and down, but chicken still makes for ex tremely low cost meals. Dairy Producti: A recent sur vey report showed that 40 per cent of the families surveyed had too little milk in their diets to meet necessary calcium needs.
