a eahigo nag Cras, p a By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D. DEAR DR. LAMB - We read your article about triglycerides. Unfortunately, you gave a lot of information about cholesterol but not aboul the diet for peopie who have'too much triglycerides in their bloodstream. I-have a‘count of between 170-175 for triglycerides. The doctor discovered this on a yearly checkup and put me ana diet and then four pills of - Atromid-8 daily. . ‘My doctor tad me avoid generally all sugar, cherries, ananas, grapes and dried fruits. He retired and | have a new one. I don't want to ask too many questions, but he mentions only butler, cheese, full milk and eggs as “forbid- den” or taken in small - amounts, He did’ not mention sugar, cherries, bananas, grapes or dried fruit. : ‘Could you write what you think about it or what I should .eat to control my triglycerides? : R READER — Triglycerides are fats, Most fots.are a combination of three fatty acids (hence the prefix “tri) and glycerine © glyceride). _A few years ago there was considerable enthusiasm about limiting sweets in the diet ‘of persons with high triglycerides. Later, with ad- ditional studies, it became more-clear that the restric- tion on sweets ‘usually worked because this decreased the calories and the palients lost weight. The weight loss was the real fac- _tor that improved the blood fats... ‘In your case, as you. men- tion in the rest of your letter, you did not have a significant weight problem. So, your new doctor is reflecting the more recent thinking, that if you don't need to lose weight or limit your calories then the intake of carbohydrates is ‘not so important.

DEAR READER ~—_ Half true. If you eat a lot of car- rots, which are a good source of vitamin A, you can have the carrot pigment in your skin. You sometimes see this in infants who are on baby foods that contain ‘too muc carro. Real vitantin A, as op- posed to the carrot pigment, ‘does not do this. You would have to consume a lot of, oranges fo have such a prab- - lem. | have never seen this problem caused by aranges alone. . . The pigment in carrots is called carotene. The body converts it to vitamin A, which is much less. pig- mented. It used to be thought that a yellow pigment Sif nified lots of vitamin A. Pale milk or butter was suspect of being less rich in vitamin A. Then it was learned that as pigment was converted to ac- tual vitamin A that it lost its color. in fact, the less yellow milk contained more vilamin A than the yellow milk.
