Elaine Hollingsworth's
50-year crusade to encourage people to
adopt a healthy lifestyle had an unusual beginning...
In the early 1950s a beautiful young actress and model, Sara Shane, was at a lavish Hollywood dinner party, chatting with the famous movie star Gloria Swanson. As Sara was about to tuck into a chocolate mousse, Miss Swanson startled her by saying, "You aren't going to eat that, are you?"
The star explained that chocolate was bad for the liver. There followed a long conversation which changed Sara's life forever.
For Elaine Hollingsworth, better known at that time under her professional name of Sara Shane, it was to be the beginning of a lifelong campaign to expose the dangers and failings of the so-called health industry and the manipulation and dishonesty of the food and drug manufacturers.
