I THOUGHT YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW:  Cholesterol and Heart Disease


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     It would seem, that from the volume of questions you write to me
concerning cholesterol and heart disease, that I can never write too much
about these important subjects in my column.  To modify or change what may be
changed, and improve diet and healthy living habits, can lead to a reduction
in the risk factors for heart disease, increasing longevity and the quality of
life.  That is why there is no such thing as "too much" information about
these subjects.  However, in a society as diverse as ours, there are bound to
be different perspectives on any question.  The folks at the Egg Nutrition
Center believe that many people are misinformed about eggs and the role they
play in heart disease risk factors and cholesterol.  And they have told me so.
They are therefore offering you a booklet, entitled "Questions and Answers:
about cholesterol and heart disease" which contains 16 pages full of
information about risk factors for heart disease, how blood cholesterol
affects coronary heart disease, loads of material about cholesterol and some
important health tips. you may obtain your copy upon request and a stamp self
addressed envelope from "Questions and Answers", Egg Nutrition Center, 2501 M
Street, NW, Suite 410, Washington, DC 20037.  It is interesting and
informative reading, and will provide you with a clear understanding of this
subject from the perspective of the American Egg Board, The United Egg
Producers, and the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency, who sponsor the Center.
