Research Finding— Eat Less, Live More

NEW BRUNSWICK - The Rutgers' research team that was among the first to link effective fiber in the diet to the control of cholesterol levels in the blood more than 15 years ago continues to make major

discoveries in this area.

The team is headed by Dr. Hans Fisher of Highland Park, chairman of the Nutrition Department at Rutgers University’s Cook College. Dr. Fisher Is a researcher at the N.J. Agricultural Experiment Station at Cook. The station celebrates its 100th anniversary this year Dr. Fisher Aid his colleague Dr. Paul Griminger, al«ty of Highland Park, have

cat has a more profound effect in this area than any and all other nutrient interventions combined," Fisher said. IF EATING LESS is indeed a key element. modiTying the nature of what is eaten is also an essential step, says the researcher. This is part of why he has devoted so much effort to understanding cholesterol and the actions of foods that can help the body control levels of the substance. Dr. Fisher advises overall diet/consciousness and the consumption of effective fiber for cholestesol control and general good nutrition habits. However, he

Among the most basic of the Rutgers' research conclusions is that the most beneficial measure a person can take to prevent arteriosclerosis is to lower his or her total calorie intake.

been examining the effectiveness of fiber as a means of controlling blood cholesterol levels since the early 1960s The data on fiber’s ability to affect cholesterol levels caused a stir in the scientific community when the news came out in 1964, but the general public didn't begin scrambling for fiber until about five years ago, said Dr. Fisher. AN IMPORTANT POINT to remember, he cautions consumers, is that only certain types of fiber are useful for cholesterol control. These do NOT include the widely used and advertised cellulose and wheat bran. "A variety of the components of fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grain cereals, particularly oatmeal and barley, are sources of effective fiber for cholesterol control." he said. The fruits and vegetables are best if eaten unpeeled and uncooked, he added. Underlying this research is the fact that high levels of fat»and cholesterol may contribure to the incidence of heart attacks because they can accumulate in blood vessels and narrow the route of blood flow, forcing the ht^acMo pump harder. Among the morf^nasic of the Rutgers' research concli^rons is that the most beneficial measuii a person can take to prevent arteriosclerosis is to lower his or her total calorie intake. "SOME OF OUR earlier work showed that lowering calorie intake in laboratory animals decreased mortality and increased longevity by about a third in comparison to control animals, who were fed normal amounts of food,” he said. "There was a direct relationship between lowering the calorie intake and the processes that give rise to arteriosclerosis. Not only did mortality decrease, but we could specifically show a smaller incidence and reduced severity of the condition." This finding is reflected in the first of the new U.S. dietary goals which calls for the reduction of total calorie intake. "A small reduction in calorie intake below what one might normally want to

hastens to point out that not even effective fiber will provide a "miracle cure." Understanding t why requires some perspective. Fiber is the indigestible, non-nutritive portion of plants that gives them their structure, Fisher explains. All plants — including edible fruits, vegetables and cereal grains — contain fiber which is a simplified name for specific components, including cellulose, pectins and various vegetable gums. SOME OF THESE complex carbohydrates have chemical and physical properties that help prevent the human body from absorbing and using the fat and cholesterol in the foods we eat. Those that do the best job of this are the ones that can either bind directly with fat and cholesterol to prevent absorption or those that can bind with bile acids which the body needs to accomplish the absorption of fat and cholesterol. But too much fiber could be overdoing a good thing because it may also bind with trace minerals such as iron and zinc. Deficiencies of these minerals could lead to conditions such as anemia and skin disorders. FISHER STRESSES that consumption of moderate amounts of foods high in effective fiber should be part of a lifelong dietary pattern because short-term results aren't really practical. "A person who is 50 years old and who has been eating foods high in fat and cholesterol all of his or her life won’t benefit greatly by suddenly starting to eat great quantities of apples, for example," he said. "There is little evidence to indicate that even effective fiber will bring about much of a reduction in the amounts of fat and cholesterol already accumulated in blood vessels. "However," he added, "consumption of effective fiber is an inexpensive and easier way than the use of drugs to reduce the amount of circulating fat and cholesterol in the blood and lessen the chance of the formation of deposits in blood vessels.”
