We’ve torn down our
summerhouse or sum*
merkitchen as some folks
call it. And now I hear the
tap, tap, tap of hammers
putting up a new building.
The old one with a large
walk-in stone fireplace and
bake oven at one end was
built very long ago and was
deteriorating. An enormous
white mulberry had grown
against the building and had
to be removed.
What a job to empty such a
structure which had turned
into a catch-all. We gave a
very primitive butcher

bench made of a slab of log to
the Hans Herr House. We
stored things in our
honeyhouse, in our
smokehouse, in our
basement and of course in
our attic. Many things were
carted to the junk pile, many
things were burned and still I
probably saved too much.
The question was which
bottles to keep and which
ones to dispose of. I surely
hope I “squirriled away” the
right things.

there was a board with
wooden pegs for clothes, old
shutters, adjustable hangers
for iron kettles in the
fireplace and oh so many
more things stored in under
the roof.
I’ve always said that I
wouldn’t want to build a
house because of all the
complications. Well, I’m
afraid that with this addition
of a new kitchen, powder
room and utility room win
come all the headaches of a
larger building. We shall
have to work with plumbers,
electricians, stone masons,
carpenters, etc.
This will not be a winter of
relaxation and catching up
with mending and reading. It
is a new experience for me
and will take a lot of con
centration to make the
proper decisions on closets,
floor coverings, type of doors
and many more things. I’ll
be glad for completion and
spring to come.

A Poor Diet Is A Risk
The term “risk factor” is
one the public is becoming
more and more conscious of.
Smoking is considered a risk
factor in heart disease. So is
high blood pressure. As is a
family history of heart
disease.
Certainly, most everyone
now knows that diet may be
involved. Eating too much
fat, or too much sugar, for
instance, is referred to as a
risk factor. But what is a risk
factor? Is it a cause of di
sease?
Not at all. The best ex
planation I’ve heard is that a
risk factor is a condition in
your life that may dispose
you toward a particular
ailment.
If You Stop...
If you stop doing whatever
it is, you move yourself
statistically into another
group of people, people who
may be less likely to get
whatever disease you are
talking about. But it’s no
guarantee you won’t get it
anyway. And, for that
matter, living with a risk
factor does not necessarily
mean you will die of it.
Doctors know, as a perfect
example, that not all people
with high levels of
cholesterol in their blood will
have a heart attack. So it is
all a might-and-maybe thing.
Most physicians worry more
if you have a combination of
several risk factors for a
certain disease.
But meantime, as a
nutrition researcher, I worry
about what may be the
greatest risk factor of all
poor eating habits.
We know that what
children eat in early life can
have profound effects on
their brain development,
muscular coordination and
behavior. Proper diet also
helps children fight disease.

studied pregnant women,
suggest that nutritional
deficiencies during
pregnancy can impair the
immune defenses not Just of
the fetus but of the mother,
and that this immune
damage can be reversed by
improving the mother’s diet.
“Particularly crucial,”
says MIT Nutritionist Paul
M. Newbeme, are those
nutrients that may be
marginally present in the
diet, yet needed by the fetus
to develop its immune
system... The many unex
plained illnesses in children,
and the wide variation
among children in their
susceptibility to illness, may
very possibly be explained
by what their mothers eat
during pregnancy.”
