New Low-Fat Diet Book Published by University Eugene - A book to help guide the person who has been placed by his doctor on a low-fat diet has been pub lished by the University of Oregon. The book, entitled "Low- Fat-Diet - Reasons, Rules, and Recipes," was written by Dr. Roy L. Swank, professor and head of the division of neurol ogy at the University of Ore gon Medical school, and Miss Aagot Grimsgaard, research associate. The 143-page, paperback publication contains more than 300 recipes to guide the housewife in preparing meals which are palatable and nu tritious even though the fat intake has been restricted. Many of these recipes were contributed by patients who are following the low-fat diet. The book is the first of a series of books by Medical School staff members planned for publication by the Uni versity of Oregon. Much of the material con tained in the book is based on research performed by Dr. Swank and Miss Grimsgaard at the University of Oregon Medical school and earlier at McGill University Medical School, Montreal. It reports their ten-year experience with the low-fat diet in the treat ment of patients suffering from multiple sclerosis, a de generative disease of the cen tral nervous system. In addition to the use of the low-fat diet in multiple sclero sis, "scientists throughout the world are daily piling up evi dence that indirectly indicates that a high-fat intake may be a factor in the development of vascular disease, and that a low-fat intake may be help ful to those who already have the disease," Dr. Swank writes in the introduction. For this reason, the Oregon Heart Association has pur chased 1000 copies of the book for distribution to doctors in the state particularly interest ed in the problems of heart disease. "Being a strong advocate of the low-fat diet, I welcome the timely publication of this book," Dr. Roger H. Keane, president of the Oregon Heart association, said. "It is my opinion that, in spite of the unsettled status of this method of attack on cardiovascular disease, we shall come to real ize its need. It seems rather Family Life Topic of PTA; Officers Named A panel consisting of Dr. June Byers, the Rev. Richard Jones, and Lawrence Tweedy presented a discussion on the topic "What Makes for Strong Family Life" 'at the Dad's night observance of Jackson Parent - Teacher association March 13. A group of committee men from Cub Scout Pack 8 led the flag salute which was fol lowed by a brief business meeting. Officers for the coming year who were elected at this time are Mrs. Richard Phillips, president; Mrs. Bernard Rice, vice president; Mrs. Donald Stroh, secretary, and Mrs. John Wimer, treasurer. Parents of children in the second grade served refresh ments. foolish for all those who have reached the adult state not to take advantage of the knowl edge that doctors have ac quired concerning the control of heart disease. This book offers the simplest method of attacking the problem of fat intake control in an accurate manner." The diet may also be useful in the control of obesity and in other disorders in which a high-fat intake appears to be a complicating or a causative factor, Dr. Swank points out. In addition to the recipes, the book contains a brief his tory of dietary fat, an outline of the development of the low fat diet, and general instruc tions for going - and staying on the diet. Publication of the book was made possible by funds held for the neurology division by the Medical Research Founda tion of Oregon, Inc., a private, non-fat organization support ing medical research in the state. Proceeds from the sale of the book will be used for continued research in the UOMS neurology division. Copies of the book are available for $2.50 from book stores or University of Oregon Publications, Eugene, Oregon.
