The American Medical Association’s Council on Foods and Nutrition of ficially recognized this fact a few years ago when it issued a position statement that read: “Foods are grouped into the Basic Four: (1) milk and milk products; (2) meat, fish and poultry with nuts and legumes as alternates; (3) fruits and vegetables; and (4) breads and cereals. A wise selection of foods from each group, as recom mended will provide an adequate diet.” THE STATEMENT is regarded as important enough to be re-issued recently, in company with four other AMA statements relating to nutrition. Regarding weight control, AMA says: “There is a significant and increasingly publicized problem with a certain minority of physicians who limit their practice to the treatment of obesity.” AMA warns against the use of digitalis, prolonged use of diuretics (they increase body water excretion), toxic doses of thyroid, and other poten tially dangerous therapeutic measures as “having no rational basis in the treat ment of obesity.” AMA specifically urges all physicians to “limit their use of amphetamines and other stimulant drugs ...” Lamb is traditionally served well done in Amenca-cooked to an internal temperature of 170 F, 'as measured by a ropst meat thermometer Many diners, now. however, are following the lead of gourmet cooks who prefer their . lamb medium-160 F. or rare-140 CONCERNING low- f HThe World's Leader in CHAIN SAWS MODELS FROM 2 to 16 H.P.

Hureh, M.D. Consultant, National Dairy Council carbohydrate diets, AMA stated in part that variations of this diet have been promoted for years - the most recent effort being that contained in the “Dr. Atkins’ Diet Revolution.’’ The diet is neither new nor revolutionary and the rationale advanced for it “is, for the most part, without scientific merit.” AMA also worries about people on such a diet possibly suffering an elevation of levels of fats in the blood. The Zen Macrobiotic diet, says AMA, is “one of the most dangerous dietary regimens, posing not only serious hazards to health bub even to life itself.” Some followers of the most rigid diet have died. Others have incurred serious nutritional deficiencies such as scurvy, anemia, emaciation and loss of kidney function, and drastic drops in the body’s stores of protein and calcium. REGARDING hunger, the AMA position is that “in society that can afford to abolish it (hunger) is morally and economically indefensible.” And malnutrition “may be just as damaging to the individual.” Physicians are urged at the local level to involve themselves in “community affairs that pertain to the resolution of hunger and malnutrition.” DAVE'S ENGINE SERVICE In Rear of Stauffer's Machine Shop V* Mile South of Murrell on Pleasant Valley Road R.D.3, Ephrata, PA Lamb
