Once upon a time, we didn’t know anything about fat exceptthat it made foods tastier. We cooked our food in lard orshortening. We spread butter on our breakfast toast and ploppedsour cream on our baked potatoes. Farmers bred their animals toproduce milk with high butterfat content and meat “marbled” withfat because that was what most people wanted to eat.
Eat for life? Eat to improve your chances long and healthylife? Yes, you can.
At a time when we seem to be overwhelmed by conflictingdiet and health messages, the National Cancer Institute (NCI)and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) havesome good news: by making the right food choices, you mayreduce your risk of developing cardiovascular disease andcancer.

It was November 30, 1991 - the date is firmly etched in my mind- we had returned from visiting a older friend. I took ashower, then became extremely nauseated - I don’t ever rememberbeing that ill - then tried to throw up, but was too sick to. Ithen headed for the front door to get some fresh air and becamedizzy. I lay down on the floor to avoid passing out. Heartattack! came to mind - I may be dying. I asked my wife to callthe ambulance. I prayed aloud, asking God to forgive my sins. Iwanted to call my son in Tulsa, but there was not enough time.The ambulance crew arrived, along with two friends. One prayedaloud for me. The cool night air felt good.
