Testimony challenges panel on dietary goals by heart researchers
World renowned heart researchers told the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition that parts of Dietary Goals for the United States lack scientific support and may mislead the public. E H Ahrens of Rockefeller University warned that dietary modification has not proven to prevent arteriosclerotic heart disease and questioned feasibility and effectiveness of broad fat lowering strategies. NBIF cited the panel commissioned by the National Heart Institute and noted Sir John McMichael and others who argued no well controlled evidence links fat reduction to improved survival in heart disease patients. The testimony, urged by Sen George McGovern, also featured David H Stroud and Wray Finney discussing industry perspectives on meat consumption and public health.
