D
, R. WALTER II. EDDY re
ported at the convention oi the
Medical Society of vthe State
of New York that experiments had
been made to ascertain the relative
value in fresh and canned foods.
These experiments were carried on
at Teachers' College, Columbia Uni
versity, and ' were financed by the
National Canners Association, which
agreed beforehand that complete re
sults, whether favorable or unfavor
able, should be given to the public. '
The experiments proved, according
to Dr, Eddy, that canned vegetables
are fully equal from the stand
point of health, to cooked fresh vege
tables This discovery reverses the
hygenic advice the public has been
constantly hearing the last few years.
"Canned peas," said Dr. Eddy, "con
tain more vitamins than cooked fresh
Canned cabbage contains five

times as much vitamin C as . fresh
boiled cabbage, In experiment with
other vegetables and fruits the canning
process was found to act as a pre
servative of vitamin C." ' 1
Vitamin C is necessary inrthe diet
for growth and for maintaining good
health. It is called the anti-scorbutic
vitamin because it prevents scurvy.
A sufficient quantity of vitamin is
essential for building up resistance to
disease. Anyone going on a diet must
take care to include in it the foods
that contain enough vitamins.
There are more vitamins in canned
fods than in the freshly cooked vege
tables because less oxidation takes
place in the canning process than in
cooking proceedings at home'. The
reason is that canned foods are cooked
in sealed sterilized cans and the vita
mins are atl preserved. They do not
escape during the reheating for
serving.
