Freelance writer Jack Denton Scott provided a veritable feast of good news about beef for the January issue of the Reader’s Digest in his article “Are We Getting a Bum Steer About Beef?” Scott included a variety of quotes about beefs outstanding qualities from several well-known researchers and scientists who strongly disagree with the theory that consuming meat increases the risk of heart disease and cancer.
This palatable article tastefully proclaimed that, contrary to popular myths, beef is not loaded with fat, cholesterol, or calories. He documents his conviction by stating that:
— A typical serving of beef contains approximately 7.5 percent of the cholesterol required daily by the human body.
— Only 36 percent of the fat in U.S. food supply comes from beef, pork, poultry, and fish, while 42 percent comes from vegetable sources, such as oils, short- i ening and margarine. i
— Three ounces of lean beef contains only approxi- . mately 169 calories.
