The.,lay to a
Man's Heart
Rightly or wrongly, , that
unglamorous organ of man`s
digestion - the stomach - has
had many qualities attributed
to it by people in all walks of
life. The military strategist '
would, have us believe it is ani
organ of transportation -"an
army marches on -its stomach";
generations of people trey it as
' ' a ,critic of anything they dislike
- "I can't stomach that`P';
women acclaim it as the
gateway to' a proposal - "the
way to a man's heart is through
. , his stomach". Of them all, it is
. the person who 'coined the last- Y.
ter phrase who ,really knew his,
44., or her anatomy. •
' One of the most exciting
dividends from the millions'of
dollars', invested in heart
'research has been the, iden-
' tification -of .... rs, —
those factors which -affect.-our
chances of suffering a
premature heart' attack."
Prominent among these risk
,s factors are overweight and high
blood -fat. or cholesterol levels,
b both intimately.connected with.
input to the ,stomach:
Millions of, Canadian's who
s w- .no'' evidence of having
de eloped coronary heart
dis se are' undoubtedly in-•
crew ing t,hei, risk of heart at -
`tack, y eating Coo many egg
yolks, which are 'high in
cholesterol, and too. much fat
meat, butter, cream and whole
'•which':`a;ed high in
sfi,turated, fats.
To reduce, this risk, Scientists
low.. •in cholesterol and
saturated fats.and yet provid4
all the essential nutrients:. This
• is particularly important in
Canada, as'. the typical
Canadian meal is rich in foods
that lead to atherosclerosis, or
hardening of the arteries. The
plan recommends certain
moderate changes in eating
habits with a .view to reducing
your risk of heart attack.

capital gains, what 'if property
was acquired, before. January 1,
1972,- at a cost of $2,000 and
was worth only $1,000 on

property was sold for $2,500,
will the capital gain in this case
i?e $500, or `$1,500? ,
