While Canadians can be
thankful their children no
longer suffer from starvation
and malnutrition, they may

still be risking = their
children’s future health by
imposing abnormal diets on
them.

Doctors have long known
that poor nutnition in infancy
has a lasting influence on an
individual's health and
physiology. A protein defi-
ciency, for example, tends to
stunt growth.

Now some doctors are
speculating that subtle ab-

_ ition “i =

such as solid food at too
young an age, may be con-
nected to adult health prob-
lems. A Canadian  biw-
chemist, Dr Joseph Angel,
is studying this question in
his lab at the University of
Saskatchewan.

Dr. Angel says the average
infant can live solely on milk
until about six) months of
age, at which time tt ts

usually necessary to begin
adding-.solid food to the
baby’s diet. But a survey
taken in major industrialized
countries shows that 80 per
cent of babies were already
eating solid food at one
month, and0 per cent were
eating solid food at two
months.

One-half of the food
energy (calones) in milk 1s
contributed by fats, whereas
the caloric content in solid
food is supplied mostly by
starch. In laboratory expen-
ments, Dr. Angel has found
that when rats are taken off

y. their
livers make up for the loss in
fat by producing an
unusually high amount of
their own fat.

“The rats look perfectly
healthy and are no heavier
than other rats, but there ts
this abnormally Ingh fat con
tent in their livers.” says Dr
Angel “Moreover, the
abaormal = fat) production

persists into adult life”

YOU'RE NEVER too young to be on the stage, and these kindergarten students from Ridgeview School showed they
have what it takes to walk the floorboards at the school's Harmony of Nations presentation March 23 and 25 at the
school. The kindergarten kids presented Japan, while other pupils presented sach countries as Greece, Trinidad,

Russia and Canada. At left Sarah Carlesen anxiously awaits her cue. Above the kindergarten class dances to the

ANGER can be a very
destructive thing; it can also
be a constructive tool in
changing and improving
relationships.

Dr. Ron Richardson will
be leading a workshop on
anger on Saturday, April 9,
1983 from 9:45 am to 4:00
pm at the North Lonsdale
United Church, 3380
Lonsdale, North Vancouver,
B.C.

“Some of us are unaware
of our anger, or we are
uncomfortable with it.
Others of us are consumed
by it and unable to control
it,” Richardson says.

The purpose of this work-
shop is to learn about our
anger — what it is about and
how we inhibit or misuse it
and to find more con-
Structive and helpful ways to
use it in improving our lives
and relationships.

Please call the North
Shore Living and Learning
Office at 926-5495 to learn
more about this workshop.
