The first book is intended for .use with overweight persons. The two booklets represent a joint effort of the iNutrition Com mittee of the American Heart Dietetic Assn., the American Assn and Heart Disease Control Program of the U.S. Public Health Service. Physicians, nu- tritionists and other consultants with special knowledge of the subject matter participated in developing the material. The American Heart Assn in a 1961 report on dietary fat recommended "the reduction or con trol of fat consumption, under medical supervision" as a pos sible means of decreasing the risk of hear attacks and strokes. Fat reduction;' the report said, is probably of greatest potential benefit to the overweight, to per sons who 'have had a heart attack or stroke, and to men whose family histories suggest that they may be particularly susceptible to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). At the same time the Heart Assn emphasized that there is no final proof yet that dietary changes can prevent the heart attacks or strokes. It urged that medical guidance be sought before individuals make specific changes in their diets. . .
