Many beliefs about food
are steeped in myth and are
nothing more than old
wives’ tales, say prominent
nutrition experts.

‘Nutrition is a relatively
new science,”’ says Dr.
Philip L. White, director of
the Department of Foods and
Nutrition of the American.
Medical. Association. ‘‘Thus
the subject is particularly
susceptible to distortion and
myths.”’

Dr. Exory Thurston, pres-
ident of the Institute for
Nutritional Research agreed.

Doctor White exploded
some of these myths: .

1. Eating too much sugar
is the main cause of diabctes.
Not true. Heredity is the

~~-primary.cause..ot diabetes......

2. It is unsafe to make hot
drinks with hot water from
the tap. False. Hot water
directly from the tap may
have a flat taste, but it docs
not contain impurities picked
up from the water heater,

3. Orange juice and other
fruit juices lose vitamin C
when stored in the refrigera-
tor. Not true. Vitamin C is
remarkably stable in juices
that are properly stored in
the refrigerator, in ‘closed
glass or plastic containers.

The salt in the
North American diet causes
hypertension. Not true. Any
reasonably healthy person's
body is capable of eliminat-
ing the amount of sodium or

Doctor Thurston added

these points:

5S. The most nutritious part
of the potato is the skin.
False. The skin of a potato
contains very few nutrients
of anv kind.

6. Raw sugar is better for
you than white sugar. Not
true. Sugar is sugar.

7. Spinach is an excellent
dietary source of iron. Not
true. While the iron content
of spinach is quite high, the
iron is present in a form not
readily absorbed by the
body.

8. Vinegar thins the blood.
False. Vinegar is a healthy
substance particularly apple
cider vinegar, which contains

ete ot a ad oA re

acetic acid in a natural form.
Acetic acid inhibits growth of
harmful bacteria in mucous
membranes.

9, Eating oysters and
clams will make vou virile.
Not true.. Clams and oysters
contain iodine and trace
minerals which help improve
general health but that is all.

Dr. S.A. Hami, St. Luke's
Hospital, New York, recently
stated, “Carbohydrates per-
form a variety of functions
necessary to life because
they are our prime source of
energy. Because they are so
important to body functions,
it is of growing concern to
men of science that heel:
food fanatics whe write
