5 PENGTH-DIET

American and Soviet citizens eat about the same amount of food each day but

the Soviet diet may be more nutritious.

According to a CIA report released today both nationalities may be eating

too much for good health.

The CIA drew no conclusions about the nutritional makeup of the Soviet and

American diets but commonly accepted U.S. health views suggest the Soviet diet

may be slightly better.
