By DELOS SMITH
-United Press Science Editor
NEW YORK (UP) Medical
scientists devoted to the nutritional
approach to . health would like
every; American to know the na-i
ture of proteins at least as well
as he knows the colors of the new
cars.: . ' -
Some of them are frankly
alarmed for the future because of
proteins, but what can be done
about it when Americans think one
protein is as good as another?
Because they don t know, Amer
icans are kidding themselves when
they think they're the best-fed
people on earth, according to Dr.
William Coda Martin, of the New
York Medical College. ',
He spoke out feelingly at a re
cent meeting of the American
Academy of Nutrition because th
protein content of wheat and corn
grown in America is steadily de
clining even as the bushel-yield of
grain per acre is increasing.
Protein Structure Remade
Animal bodies, human, bovine,
or whatever, do not make protein
they merely remake the protein
structure which is first put to
gether by"jplant life, he said.
The plants take the chemical
parts of proteins out of the soil
add such elements as calcium In
fair amounts, and add traces of
such minerals as magnesium, man
ganese, copper,: boron, zinc, and
molybdenum. I
A man eats these plants and his
body breaks down the proteins into
their many parts and puts the parts
together into man-protein. Or the
man eats the cow which had eaten
the plants and ; whose body had
remade them into cow-protein. And
so the man's body remakes cow
protein into man-protein.
WTiich is' as it should be. What
isn't as it should be Dr. Martin
said, is that in the United States
the vegetable protein, upon which
animal protein depends, is becom
ing of lower and lower quality.
This is so because the soil of
"two-thirds" of the country he
excepted the Middle West is no
longer able to supply plants with
everything they need to make high
quality protein. r
Size, Appearance and Taste
Unfortunately, i "there are few
nutritional standards for our foods'
he said. "The United States De
partment of Agriculture bases its
yearly statistics on the yield per
acre and not on the nutritional
value of - the food in human
health. Size and appearance and
taste seem to be the major require
ments for our foods."
Yet "protein produced on infer
tile soil deficient in trace minerals
is considered an incomplete pro
tein or a protein of low biological
factors as compared with high
quality protein from fertile soil."
He granted that science "still
knows. very little" of the value of
trace minerals in human nutrition.
But. they are unquestionably es
sential and, by way of example,
he continued: "It is now known
that many of these trace minerals
Set as catalyst (starter - tipper)
in body metabolism. One such con
dition that is well known is the
inability of the red cell to utilize
iron without the catalytic action of
copper." 1
