Heavily qualified ("As yet there is no final proof"), the A.H.A. statement failed to beat its detractors-who were primed for battle-into print. The National Dairy Council, whose products (whole milk, butter, cream, cheese) were identified by the A.H.A. as cholesterol-producing villains, fought back fiercely. "The idea that replacing some 'saturated' fats [animal and hydrogenated fats] with 'unsaturated' fats will help prevent heart disease is clearly unproved," said the council. Manipulating the diet in favor of unsaturated fats (chiefly liquid vegetable oils), suggested the council darkly, could even be dangerous to health...
...thumping performance at the United Nations is evidence of this return to post-war Stalinism and the rigid division of East and West into two absolutely opposed camps, he claimed.

Many Protestant theologians are critical of the formal rigidity of the natural law theory; neither they nor the Jews find the stock Biblical proof-text from St. Paul convincing.* Others, notably Karl Barth, reject the Thomist theory of analogy on which the natural law stands; in fallen man, they hold, sin has shattered God's image, and since the Garden of Eden he has had no direct knowledge of God's reason or his will without revelation. Many Protestants distrust the whole Scholastic tradition, which they feel keeps man from direct contact with...
