—— aw RL 2 ae , Dr. Lamb Diet wi By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D. DEAR DR. LAMB — You mentioned in your column that fatty accumulations in the arteries are reversible. - Could you please tell me how : this is possib e? DEAR READER — The fatty particles in the bloodstream with cholesterol literally move through the artery wall. They stick in the ‘wall and cause the deposits. Part or all of the deposits wilt be removed, in many cases, if the amount of fatty particles and cholestefol in the bloodstream: is sufficiently ‘ow. To lower the fatty- cholesterol particles in the blood you need to be on a diet that does not contain excess calories ‘and either prevents or eliminates obesity. The diet should be low in fat, low in saturated fat, and low in cholesterol. The reversibility of fatty deposits in the arteries has been demonstrated in animals under strict experi- mental control. The monkey was used for one of the best ex- periments because he is more ike the human. The monkeys developed fatty-cholesterol deposits in the arteries when they were on a rich diet, and the fatty deposits were not present after monkeys were put back ona less rich monkey jet. The same thing has heen demonstrated in people. The problems associated with fat- ty-cholesterol deposits in the arteries, specifically heart disease, decreased or almost. disappeared from European populations of World War Ib here are. innumerable Automobile Il help cut cholesterol studies showing this relation- ship. : or more information about cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood fats as related to artery and heart disease, wrile to me at P.

LAMB — I've had this problem for a while, so I'm telling you about it. Since school started in 1973 I've been chewing more than a pack of gum a day and each time | chew a piece ['m lucky if it lasts more than 10 ~ minutes. My problem is 1 have this habit of swallowing my gum, sometimes bit by bit and sometimes the whole piece at once. It isn't accidental — it's just a habit. _ Some of my friends told me it lakes seven years Lo digest. My mom thinks it might be an unhealthy thing to do, and now it's got me worried. Any advice or help. would be much appreciated. DEAR READER — if swallowing gum is the worst thing you ever swallow, you will be lucky indeed. No, it will not take seven years to digest. It will not harm you — even though I must admit that I dan’t really think it is a good idea. All undigested material passes through the digestive system and is usually elimi- nated in 48 hours, I'm more concerned about the effects of constant gum chewing on.your teeth. You might ask your dentist what he thinks about it. INEWS)APER ENTERPHISE ASSN Service Tips ‘YOUR BATTERY COLD ENGINES . PUT UP RESISTANCE TO CRANK IN WINTER WEATHER...

You said, “Never put anything in writing that might cause heartache or humiliation if someone should ‘accidentally’ find it.” Iaml5-years-old and [havea diary that means a great deal to ‘me. Parents don't understand what it’s like to be able to write whatever you feal like. A diary is a friend. When you've done something wrong, you tell your diary and then you feel better. When you do something good, you can brag about it without being self-conscious, A diary is someone you talk to when you can't talk to anyone else. There are times when I put my secret hopes and dreams in my diary. They are very per- sonal and private, nobody's business but mine, “Sometimes when I tell my mother things, she smirks or laughs or says I am being childish. My diary listens and understands exactly how I feel. It’s wrong not to be able to be completely honest in a diary for fear someone might see -it. I - think you should have told mothers to keep their noses out of their daughters’ diaries in- stead of warning girls ta be careful what they write. — Tammy DEAR TAMMY: Of course you are right, dear. A diary should be private — stricily hands off — and [ despise the thought that some mothers are nosy and = invade © their daughters’ privacy, but I tell it like tt is. T've received stacks of letters fram mothers who have stuck their noses in their daughters’ diaries and have written to say they are “shocked, oulraged, stunned, sick at heart, ete.” J felt compelled to warn the girls - (after I admonished the mothers) so thay will be alert to the risks of keeping a diary. I agree that a diary can be a wonderful friend and a useful outlet for pent-up emotions. A girl SHOULD be able to express herself openly and withoul fear, but I know the hazards of pouring out one’s innermost secrels on paper and the heartache that can follow if those words are read by a third party. I want to protect you _girls.as best 1 can and’ that’s why Tl warned . against’ putting ‘sich information in writing. DEAR ANN LANDERS: [ am the mother of a homosexual. At first it,.was very difficult for me to accept the fact. Bul now [ am over my feelings of horror and revulsion and I know my son needs my love and un- derstanding. People frequently ask me why he isn’t married. When I say he just hasn’t found the right girl, they offer to fix him up a date with some nice young woman. When I discourage them they WA keep pressing and ] become ’ self-conscious. Sometimes | have the feeling the people KNOW and are asking just to see what I will say. Do you think the day wili ever come when a mother will be able to look a person in the eye and say, ‘“‘ My son is a . homosexual and that's why he is not married?” Until that day comes, what can a mother say? — Need Some Counsel A DEAR NEED: | cannot see that your son’s sexual preference is. anybody's business. Nor do I believe that you should explain his preference or attempt to defend him in any. way. It’s actually hobody's business. Many un- married men are not homosexuals and it may be that you are overreacting. Handle the questions about your son casually and change tha subject.
