TODAY’S HEALTH GUIDE, the American Medical Associa tion's manual of health informa tion for the American family, points out that grandma is not always wrong in her concepts of health. But she often is wrong. The book lists some of the common misconceptions about health— • Eating between meals is al ways harmful (untrue). • Bad breath means disease (not so). • Milk should not be taken at the same time as sour fruits (not so). • Proteins and carbohydrates should not be eaten at the same meal (incorrect). • Daily bowel movements are necessary for health (untrue). • Fain in the back must indi cate kidney disease (incorrect). • Pain in the abdomen means an overloaded stomach (wrong). • A laxative is good for ab dominal pain (it is sometimes dangerous). • Food kept in an open tin can is necessarily poisonous (not if properly refrigerated).
