How much do yon really
know abort the foods you
eat? Take this test and see
byO.A.Batfista
The art of eating one's way to health
is no longer just a matter of taste. It's
a science. Yet, despite the wealth of
scientific facts about the tie-in between
what we eat and how we feel, millions
still entertain odd fancies about food.
Your eating pattern for daily living
and your understanding of the facts
and fallacies about your diet can mean
the difference between new vigor and
longer life or a gradual sapping of your
strength, ambition, and success.
For every food fallacy there is a fact
Here's a quiz that gives you a chance to
find out how much you really know
about your diet Answer the following
statements, then check below.
1. Acid foods, such as citrus, juices, should never be taken at the
same meal as milk because they make milk curdle and hard
to digest
2. Frying foods in aluminum utensils causes a harmful chemical
reaction.
3. B-12 is a wonder vitamin that growing children should get in
abundance.
4. We have swung over too heavily to a protein diet when, in fact, a
vegetarian diet would help us live longer.
5. Spinach is an extremely valuable food, loaded with iron; it should
be included in the family diet as often as possible.
Tree False
Atuwers
1. False. There are strong acids in the
stomach that curdle milk as the first
stage of digestion whether or not one
takes acid foods at the same time. Any
wholesome food can be eaten with other
wholesome foods.
2. False. The heat required to bring
about chemical reaction to metal is many
times that used in cooking. Long before
any harmful change could take place,
the food itself would be burned away.
Cooking in aluminum utensils has not
been found harmful in any way.
3. False. Children should not be given
extra doses of vitamin B-12 except on
advice of a physician. A scientist who
had done some remarkable research on
vitamin B-12 gave his son heavy doses
of the vitamin. His child began to
develop evidences of serious malnutri
tion. The scientist had been giving his
child foods rich in B-12 to the ex
clusion of other essential food elements.
The result: a condition as bad as though
he had known nothing about nutrition.
Too much of certain vitamins can be
as bad as too few vitamins, A and D in
particular. Vitamins and minerals should
be taken on advice of a physician.
4. False. We may have swung too

heavily to a high-protein diet There is
no medical evidence that eating more
protein than needed assures any health
benefits so long as both caloric and
protein requirements are met There
isn't any good general evidence that a
vegetarian diet produces superior health
benefits, either. If one looks at the
countries where people eat mainly
vegetarian diets, there is such a contrast
in so many economic and cultural factors
that it's nearly impossible to compare
statistics with a country that derives its
protein from animal foods.
5. False. Spinach has many of the
vitamins needed in a balanced diet and
is particularly rich in minerals. But all
the minerals it offers can also be found
variously in other vegetables and lean
meats. And analysis of spinach from
various parts of the country has re
vealed that spinach from one area may
have 80 times more iron than that from
another area. One prominent physician
told me, "Spinach is a splendid food that
might take its place, on a child's luncheon
or supper menu once or twice a week.
But it isn't the only healthful food and
it works no miracles. Let children enjoy
it for its good taste."
