IT PAYS TO BE SKEPTICAL Local Food Fads Analyzed by Experts It pays to be skeptical of any new fad that comes along. New food fads crop up continually, and certain unscrupulous salesmen use new tricks to get around the law. Your best protection is to be skeptical about extravagant and mysterious claims. Many reliable agencies and professional authorities are willing to give advice on good sources of information. They are able to protect the public from sales pressures of "food quacks." The local home advisor Marian Prentiss in Orange County, the County Health Department or Chamber of Commerce in your area, or the Bureau of Investigation of the American Medical Association, 535 N. Dearborn St., Chicago 10, Ill., will answer specific inquiries regarding products you question. The food quack or charlatan is not necessarily a food faddist but he thrives on those who are. Quacks accomplish most through personal appearance or by books with catchy titles. The types of food faddism difficult to recognize are the half-truths and misinterpretations of scientific data that appear in print and are preached from the lecture platform and over the air. A food faddist may be sincere in his beliefs, but often wants to convert his friends way of eating. He fails sound advice about prritition. It seems easier to believe the bizarre c a quack than the less ing—but more scientific ments—that fail to him a sure cure. FADS ARE SERIOUS Some diet fads actually harmful. They may lead to nutrition. Besides waste of money, a so-called "cure" may give a false sense of security; may not see a doctor in prevent serious trouble. Some of these fads strange as to be ridiculed rather than harmful. A DEEP FREEZE 42,450 FEET DEEP would be needed to hold all the food that could be bought with the salaries and dividends Bank of America paid to residents of this county last year. This income, totaling over $3,679,204, was used to buy a wide variety of goods and services from local business and professional people, providing added prosperity throughout the county! A CIVIC AUDITORIUM FOR OVER 75,000 PEOPLE could be built with the $84,567,000 in Orange County, municipal and school bonds bought during the past five years by underwriting groups organized by Bank of America. By backing bond issues your local Bank of America branch helps to bring better roads, parks and schools to your community. MEETING LOCAL NEEDS is a Bank of America specialty. Each branch is a local business, staffed by local people and dedicated to serving the best interests of its own community. Bank of America is the neighbor you can bank on! BANK OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRUST AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION • MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION Hospital Guild Installs Officers New officers were installed at a general meeting of the Martin Luther Guild held in the hospital cafeteria. A general membership vote on the revised Guild constitution and by-laws also highlighted the evening. The Rev. Howell S. Foster of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Buena Park was installing officer. The newly installed officers are: Mrs. William F. Schultz, president; Mrs. Fred T. Matthies, first vice-president; Mrs. Alfred Bailiff, second vice-president; Mrs. Edgar Anderson, third vice-president; Mrs. Larry Bjornstad, secretary; and Mrs. William Henness, treasurer. be interested in hearing some that have been poured into the ears of other listeners. Some persons advocate the theory that the food value of crops grown on depleted soil is poor and that plants are "devitalized" or "demineralized" because they have not been grown according to principles of "organic farming." This subject has been investigated by the Plant, Soil and Nutrition Laboratory of the USDA in Ithaca, N.Y. We are assured that no disease or abnormality in man can be traced to a deficiency in the soil except in the case of endemic goiter due to too little iodine. Hence the need for iodized salt in some areas of the country. Research at the laboratory gives no evidence that the composition of the crops grown is essentially different.

We are assured that no disease or abnormality in man can be traced to a deficiency in the soil except in the case of endemic goiter due to too little iodine. Hence the need for iodized salt in some areas of the country. Research at the laboratory gives no evidence that the composition of the crops grown is essentially different as a result of the kind or amount of commercial fertilizer used on the soil. Compost may be as good as commercial fertilizer. Lack of fertilizer may reduce the yield of a crop, but not the amount of nutrients in the food produced. Faddists recommend so-called "natural" foods. We use many foods in their natural state—fruit, nuts, salad greens. But the food faddist goes to extremes in condemning such processed items as white flour, milled and enriched cereals, canned products and pasteurized milk. He would have us use raw sugar in place of refined sugar, sea salt in place of regular table salt, yoghurt instead of milk. Except for price, there is no objection to these foods, but neither is there anything detrimental about the processed food when combined with a variety of other foods in proper ratio and amount. REAL LOSS Raw (unpasteurized) milk has advocates who believe that pasteurized milk has lost much of its nutritive value. Actually, almost the only loss of nutrients due to pasteurization is that of a small amount of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). And milk has such small and variable amounts of vitamin C that it is not considered as an important source. The nutritive loss is nothing compared with the health protection that pasteurization gives. Trick reducing diets and "weight control" pills for losing pounds painlessly are bought and paid for by Americans of both sexes and all ages. They fool themselves into thinking that reducing pills and a fat diet may... it is not considered as an important source.

Trick reducing diets and "weight control" pills for losing pounds painlessly are bought and paid for by Americans of both sexes and all ages. They fool themselves into thinking that reducing pills and a fad diet may be a substitute that will do what a weak will keeps them from doing—cutting down on calories. Some people refuse to believe that overweight comes from eating more than the body requires. Our requirements for calories decrease with age. So even while we continue at our youthful size and with the same acitivity, we need considerably fewer calories when we reach 65. It is easy to eat and drink more calories than we need. The surplus is stored as fat. Activity is easily diminished during younger years. Surplus calories result in the storage of fat. For example, a stenographer who changes from a manual typewriter to an electric typewriter saves enough energy to gain 4 to 6 pounds in a year—if she does not reduce her caloric intake, or if she does not increase her activity. Yes, to gain weight is easy for most of us. Watch out for new fads. Continue to be skeptical about claims. Check with reliable agencies for information. OCTOBER: SPECIALS ine food stock up!
