Clearer view of shelves

To the Editor;

With regard to your story
“Viewing the market shelves
through a nutritionist’s eye’’ in
the Aug. 30 Terrace Review,
thank you for sharing your
supermarket savvy with your
readers. The following points

- correct and clarify some of the

statements in the article.
High blood cholesterol is a

. risk factor for heart disease.

-Blood:cholesterol isinot the same

‘as dietary cholesterol. When it.

comes to diet, excess fat has the
greatest effect on blood

_ cholesterol levels, not dietary

cholesterol.
_ Skim milk drinkers have made
a healthy choice in- the dairy

-department and will benefit

from the vitamins A and D
added to the milk. These
vitamins are added to milk since

- they may be lost when the milk

fat is removed. Fat does not
need to accompany the vitamins
for the body to use them. Fat-

soluble vitamins, such as
vitamin A and D, are absorbed
with the help of bile salts. These
bile salts are in a fluid (bile)
which is constantly made by the
body and let into the digestive
system. Only people with
digestive disorder need. to be
concerned about absorption of
vitamin A and D.

Nitrates in processed meats
can be converted in the stomach
to ‘ nitrosamines. - Nitrosamines

appear to be carcinogenic. When _

foods containing vitamin C are

consumed at the same time as

the foods containing nitrates or
nitrites, this conversion doesn’t

seem to occur. The best sources”

of vitamin C are fruits and
vegetables, mof supplements,
since these foods provide many
other beneficial nutrients that
may also play a protective role.

Eat well, live well, and enjoy.

I’m betting all of them sent. .

Parting Thought: It is sur-

| -prising how many people
“within government have sug-

gested in conversation with
yours truly that maybe Forest
Minister Dave Parker (Skeena’s
own) had a valid point when he
said AIDS was a “‘self-inflicted
wound.” .

On that basis then, these
people must believe that

government should also be |

refusing medicare assistance for |

smokers who die of lung cancer
and heart disease, right? After,
all, continuing to smoke
cigarettes in the wake of all
mediccal advice and evidence is
an even greater self-inflicted
wound, isn’t it?

Could it be that Our Dave’s.
AIDS comment was sparked
more by fear and dislike
directed at homosexuals than
by logical thinking?
