Hypoglycemia
Is Important
To The Egg Man
“Hypoglycemia low blood
sugar is neither a new word
nor a new disease. In fact, it
may be a ‘disorder’ instead of a
disease. But it is important to
the egg man,” advices Dr. L. A.
Wilhelm, president of the poul
try and Egg National Board.
Recently a number of dieti
tians and doctors have been rec
ommending “EGGS” for hypogly
cemia! That may sound strange
to an industry that has become
“allergic” to doctors, largely be
cause of cholesterol.
The hypoglycemia literature
advices that this disorder may
be one of the most prevalent in
the country, Dr Wilhelm said

cal layman, this low blood sugar
disorder is not corrected by eat
ing sugar or starch. There arc
some nine different causes that
demand specific medical atten
tion but the tenth and most
common cause is simply poor
nutrition functional hypogly
cemia
Hypoglycemia should be sus
pected of those who are “nerv
ous” and complain of tiredness,
weakness, headache, sudden hun
ger and possible heart palpita
tions Add to this the tense indi
vidual with stomach complaints,
and you resenbe a great majority
ol Americans!
Medical authorities advise that
suspected hypoglycemia can be
best diagnosed by a sugar (glu
cose) tolerance test. This is a
series of tests given over a per
iod of at least 6 hours rather than
the simply “blood sugar test.”

Where do eggs come in?
Diet is the first line of defense.
Not only what is eaten but when
it is eaten. Hypoglycemics should
avoid not only sugar but all
sweets. Their food should be
HIGH in protein. Sugar (glu
cose) is derived from protein
slowly and does not cause the
pancreas to excrete excessive in
sulin as sugar does.
The principal protein foods rec
ommended are meats, eggs,
cheese, nuts, fish and poultry.
Hypoglycemics may be fat,
thin or average Because nervous
types tend to be thin more of
them are thin. If the low sugar
diet results in loss of weight,
this can be made up by inci eas
ing the fatty foods These rate
approximately twice as high in
calories as sugar.
Hypoglycemia (low blood sug-
ar) may be considered the op- a Pennsylvania expenment

More and more local dairymen are proving that a small extra
investment in heifer feeding can pay off when heifers freshen and
begin contributing to the milk check.
And research has proved that heifers which produce well in the
first lactation continue to be high producers over a longer
milking life than average cows.
NEW Purina* Heifer Chow* has been developed to help you
grow big heifers fast, conveniently and at low cost. New Heifer
Chow is a palatable, coarse 14 per cent protein ration, fortified
with vitamins and minerals to stimulate fast, solid heifer growth.
To build low-cost growth, you need feed only 3 pounds of New
Heifer Chow per heifer per day if your legume forages are of
good quality. For best results, start your heifers on the Purina
heifer growing program at six months of age until 90 days before
freshening when they’ll be fed on the basis of their condition
and on the quality of your forage.
Drop in soon and pick up a copy of our New Purina Heifer
Growing Program folder. It explains the program to follow foj
fast-growing, early-freshening heifers at low cost.
