§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether, in view of the various official reports that heart disease and loss of life resulting therefrom is due to eating animal fats, such as butter, and so on, he will introduce legislation to ban the sale of such products.
§ Mr. MoyleNo. As various official reports have made clear, the significance for health of the proportions of various types of fat in the diet is an extremely complex matter on which professional opinions vary. I know of no reports which have recommended the total exclusion of animal fat from the diet.
